Santa Susanna is based in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Maresme, not on the better known Costa Brava as is often thought. Relaxed, friendly, and popular with Spanish and overseas holidaymakers alike, there’s lots to do in Santa Susanna, and a good range of attractions within easy reach.

The charming old town, with its cobbled streets, history-steeped buildings and ancient monuments, has a traditional feel, and it sits happily with the seafront, which has every convenience the modern holidaymaker could wish for, from bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours to water sports.

Located between the Med and the beautiful wooded mountains of the Massif Montnegre, Santa Susanna is surrounded by fertile fields. (You’ll find plenty of local produce at the local weekly market, along with craft stalls in the summer.)

While Santa Susanna may not have this coast’s rowdiest nightlife, many affordable restaurants stay open late in high season, and there are a few clubs. For a more full-on experience, grab a cab – Lloret de Mar and all that it has to offer late-night hedonists is just a short drive away.
