Why not come to Empuriabrava for Christmas???
With cheap flights into Girona and only a 2 hour flight from the UK, Empuriabrava is the perfect choice for a winter break.
You can rent a 2 bedroomed villa in Empuriabrava for this period for 850 euros per week and we also have available small houses and apartments.
With the warmer and sunnier climate of Spain, what a lovely way to spend a couple of weeks away from the British winter. There is plenty going on here over the festive period with many restaurants offering special Christmas and New Year meals. You can also go and see the Christmas lights in Barcelona (only an hour and 20 minutes by train from Figueres) and visit the Dali museum in Figueres or the lovely old city of Girona, only a 30 minute drive away.
