But these indisputable attractions are associated with other qualities for ama- teurs and professionals of golf, with beautiful grounds and a sun always at the ren- dezvous of the 18 holes.
The greatest champions come to play but also design architecture, like Greg Norman with Real Club El Prat and Resort Lumine.
These fairways undulate majestically in lush vegetation populated by wooded hills, ponds and lakes. True green paradise for the sportsmen with the small white ball, Clubhouses have nothing to envy to the courses with the perfectly studied difficulty. Near Gerona, the PGA Catalunya Resort in Costa Brava is considered the first golf course in Spain with its two 18-hole courses at numerous prices. Its two hotels Cami- ral, 5 stars, and LaVida, 3 stars, make this resort a privileged stopover.
Not far from Barcelona, in a fertile and welcoming land, famous for its vineyards, two courses stand out, the Llavaneras Golf Club and the Real Golf Club El Prat. The first, founded in 1945 with a strong British accent, has a breathtaking view of the sea.
The second has more than a century of history and its 45 holes on 3 courses are im- mersed in the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i The Obac. It is without a doubt the most awarded club with its legendary Opens and international tournaments.
On the Costa Daurada, the Bonmont Resort Costa Daurade Golf, designed by Ro- bert Trent Jones Jr, and, more recently, the Lumine Mediterranean Beach and Golf Community, offer fabulous gardens of Eden for golfers in dream scenery overlooking the sea and an interesting proximity to PortAventura World theme park.
A divine immersion in these havens of peace punctuated by the grandiose silence of a nature still at its peak in an idyllic climate, Catalonia holds many surprises, oh so delicious.
An invitation to well being for athletes and lovers of peace and beauty.
