Is Costa Brava In Spain good?

How is usually the weather like in Costa Brava (Spain) at the end of september?

• Is there any chance I can get a sun tan on holiday in Costa Brava at the end of September (beginning of October)?

• Answer:

  I've been travelling in Spain for over two years and you can get a suntan all year round, particularly in the more southern costas. I was in Águilas in Murcia in February and it was sunny virtually every day. Costa Brava is the furthest north of the mediterranean costas, but in September/October you should really get more sunny days than not. You will also probably get some thunderstorms and torrential rain, a good time to enjoy bars or museums! If you're anywhere near Gerona, a must-see is the Salvador Dalí museum. As mentioned in one of the above answers, take some fairly high factor suntan lotion and after-sun cream(they are cheaper in the UK), especially if you are fair skinned or intend to spend a lot of time on the beaches. I would also recommend searching the web for fiestas in the area you're going to as they are definitely one of the highlights of any Spanish trip. Learning some very basic Spanish will enrich your trip and highten the excitement before you go. If you at least try to speak the lingo(even badly) the locals will appreciate it and be more friendly.
