Hotels in Colera

Colera

Colera is a small coastal village and municipality of the Alt Empordà, at the northern end of the Costa Brava, close to the French border. Its economy rests mainly on tourism, on a coast of rocky headlands that alternate with small pebble beaches and sheltered coves. Platja de les Portes is the urban beach in the bay of Colera, next to the beach known as dels Morts. Further along lie Garbet, Burro, Atzuzenes and Rovellada, with clear water that suits snorkelling. In the village stands the church of Sant Miquel de Colera, and the old hermitage of the same name lies nearby. The ruins of the Sant Salvador de Verdera castle and the hermitage of Santa Helena de Rodes are reached on foot, with views over the Cap de Creus and the Empordà. The village is small enough to walk around. The railway stops at Colera, with RG1 and R11 trains, and Figueres Vilafant is the nearest high-speed station. The nearest airports are Girona-Costa Brava and Perpignan-Rivesaltes in France. It suits travellers who want a quiet seaside village and walks over the hills, away from the larger resorts.
