My secret list – hand picked hotels in Catalonia

My secret list

One of my hobbies is scouring Booking.com for the best deals on hotels. After years of searching, I’ve compiled an updated list of my favorite hotels in Catalonia, including the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava.

These hotels are perfect for a short weekend getaway or a longer vacation, as there are plenty of options in Spain due to the many holidays and long weekends. Most of them are also family-friendly, but some are more geared towards adults.
The hotels I’ve selected are located in rural areas, with stone walls and a slow pace of life. They’re eco-friendly and offer a peaceful atmosphere that’s close to nature. Almost all of them fit this description, but if you have any other recommendations, feel free to share them in the comments.
