The Dog Days of Summer - or how to beat the heat in Spain

As we settle into the depths of the dogs days of summer, a lot of us are starting to dream of a little less heat and a little more action. The Spanish Touch has the solution!

Why not combine the beaches of the Costa Brava with a little bit of mountain air? The Costa Brava, that stretch of sand north of Barcelona along the Mediterranean, offers a great variety of beaches, from long golden stretches to pristine, tiny coves away from the crowds that are perfect for a getaway with some friends or family. And of course, while there you have great activities like the Dali Museum in Figueres, or Girona just a short drive inland. And perhaps best of all for those of us anxious to leave the heat behind for a few hours, the Pyrenees mountains are right there as well! Take a trip up to the Val D'Aran or the Vall de Boi to see the thousand-year-old Romanesque churches in Taull, or theAiguastortes National Park. Go up to the Vall de Nuria for a couple of days of mountain exploration, with the right touch of local cuisine and culture. For the more adventurous, take a quad ride through the mountain trails, or simply hike through the cool forests and enjoy the beautiful natural landscapes. There's something for everyone this summer, so why not come and check it out!
