New Year’s Getaway on the Costa Brava
At Mas de Torrent Hotel & Spa, we’ve prepared all the ingredients for you to enjoy a New Year’s Eve getaway on the Costa Brava that you’ll truly remember. Slow, peaceful days, conversations in front of the fireplace, and that feeling of pause that you only ever breathe in when the year is coming to an end.
Enjoy a spectacular New Year’s Eve dinner, with party favours and music, comforting flavours, and an atmosphere that’s perfect for saying goodbye to the year in the best possible way.
If you decide to join us at such a special time, here are some recommendations for experiences and nearby places to enjoy the Mediterranean winter to the fullest.
Chimes with a sea view
The most anticipated moment of New Year’s Eve is, without a doubt, the chimes, and there’s no better place to enjoy them than the Costa Brava. Many towns offer open-air celebrations that allow tourists and locals to hear the chimes ringing alongside the sea. Concerts, fireworks displays, and gastronomic events invite you to ignore the cold and see the year out in style.
In cities like Tossa de Mar or Cadaqués, you can immerse yourself in a magical atmosphere, with the sound of the waves in the background as you wait for midnight. In Girona, the festivities take place in Plaça de la Independència, where the chimes are accompanied by fireworks, live music, and a lively party atmosphere. Don’t hesitate—end your New Year’s Eve dinner on the Costa Brava with an unforgettable open-air celebration.
Sport and nature to finish the year with energy
If you prefer to bid farewell to the year actively, the Costa Brava is your ideal destination. One of the most popular sporting traditions is the famous San Silvestre Race, held in various towns across the country. In cities such as Blanes or Sant Feliu de Guíxols, the San Silvestre often attracts hundreds of participants, offering a unique opportunity to finish the year full of energy and good humour.
If you prefer the mountains, the Costa Brava offers hundreds of hiking trails of all levels. Some hide the best spots for mushroom foraging, known locally as “caçar bolets.” Going out with family and friends to find the best varieties that flavour traditional Catalan cuisine is already part of the local culture.
For the more daring, we encourage you to take part in the New Year’s Eve swim. Although the Mediterranean waters in December are far from warm, swimming in the sea to see the year out is a refreshing experience that many brave souls dare to try. Some beaches, such as those in Platja d’Aro or Lloret de Mar, organise these events, where a relaxed atmosphere and festive spirit allow you to experience a truly unique New Year’s celebration in Costa Brava.
Nativity scenes and living cribs
Another authentic experience to enjoy on New Year’s Eve on the Costa Brava is visiting nativity scenes and living cribs. These performances, involving local residents, recreate the birth of Jesus with astonishing detail and dedication. The most famous of all is the living nativity scene in Pals, a small medieval village that, for a few days, steps back in time to offer a magical and surreal representation.
In addition to Pals, other Costa Brava towns such as Castell d’Aro or Peralada also host living cribs, each with its own distinctive style. Visiting one of these nativity scenes is a wonderful way to connect with local traditions and enjoy a different experience during the New Year holidays.
