COSTA BRAVA
The coastline of Girona province
Costa Brava coast is 256 kilometres long.
As the name “fierce coast” implies, it’s rocky but with superb beaches and coves.
The Costa Brava is formed by old fishermen’s villages that still preserve the traditional architecture.
Enjoy beautiful nature, crystal-clear water beaches and coves.
And discover the coastal paths known as “camins de ronda” that communicate with many villages. It’s the best way to get to hidden coves and see amazing cliffs.
Some of the stunning villages we can visit are:
CALELLA DE PALAFRUGELL
Located on a rocky shore full of small coves.
It is one of the most picturesque places on the Costa Brava.
The traditional coastal architecture is presented with beautiful white houses.
The “vaults” or arcades stand out in the seafront.
TOSSA DE MAR
It’s one of the most beautiful villages on the Costa Brava.
A medieval town with towers, walls and cobbled streets.
Tossa is the only example of a fortified medieval village on the Catalan coast.
March Chagall described it as “Blue paradise”.
A visit to the old town is essential to enjoy its monuments like:
