The best bars and cafés Costa Brava

It is the bar of the Hotel Marina, which has been open since 2015 and has become the newest in this area. Located in a street leading to the beach, it offers an almost exhaustive menu of classic cocktails and liqueurs. All you will have to do is settle down in a nice semi-open space with white walls and comfortable leather sofas and accompany the drinks with a few homemade tapas. It's up to you to see then, if like Un singe en hiver in a Henri Verneuil film, these different drinks will transport you to Cairo.

It is certainly the liveliest place in Figueres. A few steps from the ramblas, this very large space occupies almost the whole block between two streets. But it has been able to arrange sub-areas, with small tables, stools around the barra, corners to meet with friends. It is appreciated first of all for its beer brewed on the premises, with a tank visible in the basement, but also for its tapas as fresh as they are multiple: oysters, prawns, croquettes, mini brochettes of tuna, salmon or cuttlefish, small empanadas, etc.. Passage recommended.

It is one of the historical landmarks of the village, which celebrated its eightieth anniversary in 2015. You can come and have breakfast almost with your feet in the water, and in front of the Cucurucucuc, the small cone-shaped rock that has become the emblem of Cadaqués. The croissants are a little expensive but delicious. Later, but there is not really an hour, you can also come and taste the speciality of the fishermen of the region, the cremat: cane alcohol, coffee and sugar flambé that you will want to accompany with some tapas.

Its position, at the entrance to the passeig marítim, and its structure, surrounded by terraces, make it the ideal vantage point for enjoying the beach, the seafront promenade and the mountains in the distance. And, of course, the sunsets, protected from the wind by surrounding glass. On the drinks front, you'll find everything you need, including regional wines and a fine menu of cocktails, vermouth and gin and tonics - a must for summer evenings. And what's more, you'll have the chance to learn how to say "s'il vous plaît" in Catalan: si us plau.
