Costa Brava in December
Around 10.5 °C by day, sea 15.4 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 1 out of 5 against 5.
December on the Costa Brava is 10.5 °C by day and 15.4 °C in the sea. Load is 1 out of 5: the shore is empty.
December splits the coast in two, and no other split matters more. Girona, half an hour inland, runs like an ordinary city: 108,352 residents, a university, a hospital 5 minutes away, a winter score of 5 out of 5. The coastal resort towns are largely shut: Lloret's winter score is 2 out of 5. One answer is to live in Girona and drive to the sea, 33 km away.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 58 rainy days a year, 71% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
