Santa Susanna
Cheap holidays to Santa Susanna
Santa Susanna puts down its roots in the south of the Costa Brava. It’s got something for everyone, with its two kilometres of beaches, cobbled old town and rural surroundings. There’s plenty of history, too, including a string of 15th-century watchtowers which were built to protect the town from pirates. The Massif Montnegre national park, which is packed with cycling and hiking trails, is close by, as well.
When it comes to sunset, you’ve got a variety of options. In the town itself, you’re looking at leisurely evenings in one of the many restaurants on the palm-lined promenade – the eateries specialising in seafood come highly recommended. If you’re looking for something a little more lively, Malgrat’s a 10-minute taxi ride away. This town’s aptly named Bar Street has you covered for nights out.
A chain of three beaches brackets Santa Susanna, and each has its own speciality. The Platja de les Dunes is best for watersports, while the Platja de Llevant’s a winner for families. The Platja de les Caletes is the place to go for a bit of peace and quiet as it’s made up of lots of small coves divided up by rocks. All this is backed by a promenade where, alongside bars and restaurants, you’ll find a craft market stocked with the wares of local artisans.
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is just an hour’s train ride from Santa Susanna. And trains run roughly every half an hour, so spending a day taking in the city’s famous sights is easy. Crane your neck up at the Sagrada Familia, admire Gaudi’s work at Park Guell and wander down Las Ramblas. Then, once you’ve had your fill of the crowds, you can hop on the train back to peaceful Santa Susanna.
