Costa Brava, Spain
A 200-kilometer rocky line surrounds the province of Girona in northeastern Catalonia and forms a coastal area with coves and beaches that have retained their magic and beauty despite rapid development. From the Costa - a significant coast, and Brava - rocky, wild, is formed the name of this wonderful place called the Costa Brava. There are corners for everyone.
One part is oriented mainly to tourists, and another has preserved the traditions and has become a "hidden pearl" for visitors who want more than sun, sand and sangria. Small towns perched on the rocky lands of the Costa Brava have attracted celebrities such as Salvador Dali, Picasso, Chagall and Man Ray (one of the most visited and important museums in Catalonia is the Dali Museum in Figueres) with crystal clear skies and inspiring landscapes and inbreathed them in their work.
Cadaqués is one of the most important and famous coastal cities, captivating with its unadulterated and inimitable off-season atmosphere. Nestled in a cove and bordering the Cap de Creus Nature Reserve, it is one of those places on the Costa Brava that attracts artists with inspiration, and the captivating house of Salvador Dali was built in it. Kaleya will offer a diverse nightlife, a wide beach, a large shopping area with many boutiques, souvenir shops. This is the resort with the longest coastal shopping street in all of Spain.
Pineda de Mar is a resort that impresses with its old part with a typical atmosphere and tourist area, where shops, restaurants, pizzerias, discos and nightclubs are hospitably welcomed during your vacation here.
Blanes is a picturesque resort 60 km from Barcelona, with its own radiance and 4 km of beach, blooming like a rose and growing from a local fishing village with the tower of the fortress of St. Johann. Here visitors can enjoy a promenade with a central square and attractions, a beautiful bay with a wide beach, and north of the resort - alternating picturesque small coves carved into the rocks, hence the name of the coast "Crossed Coast".
The "diamond" of tourism in the area, "Las Vegas" on the Costa Brava - this is Lloret de Mar. A wonderful remake of many hotels amidst beautiful natural and historical heritage and modern attractions - Casino Lloret de Mar, restaurants, clubs.
Tossa de Mar - one of the northernmost and most remarkable resorts on the Costa Brava, with nature that makes you shut up and swallow the unique beauty.

History, naturally intertwined and modernized, is written on a billboard in Tossa - the Spanish Montmartre, the most romantic resort on the Costa Brava.
Other sights include the medieval villages of Pals and Perataliada. There is simply no part of the Costa Brava that is not worth it and does not take your breath away when you visit it.
