Costa Brava

The 200 km of coastline that stretch from Portbou to Blanes are 200 km of unforgettable sensations.

Nature plays a crucial role, gifting the region with spectacular spots like Cap de Creus, Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, and the Medes Islands.

Undoubtedly, the most iconic scenery on the Costa Brava is its beaches, its crystal-clear water and golden sand, coves tucked away among the steep cliffs and quaint fishing villages.

But many other surprises and one-of-a-kind attractions are also waiting to be discovered, like the Bay of Roses, Banyoles Lake, and the botanical gardens that dot the coast.

The Costa Brava is landscape, culture and cuisine. Home to the Greco-Roman ruins of Empúries, medieval villages, the legacy of Girona’s Jewish Quarter, the

There are few places in the world home to so many scenic treasures, charming villages, and cultural attractions as this corner of the Mediterranean

pottery tradition of La Bisbal d’Empordà, and the impact of local artists like surrealist Salvador Dalí, as well as cuisine and local products from the sea and land like anchovies, oil, and wine, the Costa Brava is a veritable amalgam of experiences as diverse as they are exciting.
