Barcelona + Costa Brava: Any recommendations for family holiday?

Hi!
Just wondering if anyone has done this trip or similar and could recommend any particular location/accommodation from their experience ...

We are 2 adults + 4 kids (from 14 yrs down to 8), so would be looking at a 3-bed villa, or apartment or campsite accommodation. Traveling in July.

Thanks!

Hi Manuel, You're going on holidays in July which of course is high season and high in expense. Furthermore, Barcelona is much desired city break destination as well as a beach destination. Six people though; muchos dineros tambien (big money also). It is probably a bit late, but I would advise you contact some Irish holiday home owner in the region and negotiate a price.

Barcelona is an excellent location. Like I said desired city with much to see and experience. Open top bus tours a must. Dont forget to visit Sagrada Familia basilica and of course the Gaudi locations. If you have an interest in football Camp Nou is a must see place. Enjoy La Rambla and be mindful of pickpockets.

The beach in Barcelona is a step up from anything we have here. Eating out is expensive enough but nothing like a similar location in Ireland. I think you will have the family holiday of a lifetime.

Perhaps fly in to Girona and head to the coast toward Tossa de Mar. You are bound to get a rental through www.holiday-rentals.co.uk

Just bumping this to see if anyone else out there has a particular recommendation for accommodation/location in Costa Brava for a family of 6. There's still a good bit of choice in the likes of Eurocamp campsites all along the coast. I guess I'm just asking if anyone out there had a good experience in any particular area ... we would probably hire a car to explore the area too and would like to include a visit to a water-park.
Thanks!
