Tourism in Costa Brava

Costa Brava is translated from Spanish as Coast of the Courageous. Now this name was fixed to all coasts of Gerona's province, from the city of Blanes to the French border.

Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Federico García Lorca, Luis Buñuel, Man Ray… These are just a few of the many artists who have found inspiration on Catalonia’s Costa Brava. Its nature, climate and history create a setting of odd, haunting beauty that is hard to grasp, but that never fails to seduce, with its lush vegetation propped against the blue and green immensity of the sea.The 16ºC of average annual temperature, with moderate rainfall, and the 2,500 hours of sunshine that illuminate the historic-artistic vestiges, recalling the existence of a notable past, are only the visible aspects of a reality that has a hidden pulse waiting to be discovered. Its 214 kilometres of coastline stretch between Blanes in the south, surrounded by El Maresme and El Montseny, and Portbou in the north, on the French border. Beaches, coves, cliffs and woods sit among renowned places like S’Agaró, Tossa de Mar, Begur, Cadaques and Portlligat.

Lloret del Mar is a famous tourist Costa Brava's capital. There is a set of bars and discos here, therefore a noisy and a cheerful rest are guaranteed to you. The well-known aquapark of Marineland and a minizoo of Aqualeon will delight children.
