Costa Brava (Wild Coast) The Costa Brava is the northernmost region of Catalonia, which affects the travel season – it is relatively short and lasts from about July to September. The coast is washed by the Mediterranean Sea. The closer to France, the larger the pebbles; the closer to Barcelona, the finer the gravel and the steeper the entry into the water.
Tossa de Mar: – quiet, picturesque town – divided into the old town (historical part) and the tourist district – not to be classified as “cheap”
Pineda de Mar: – relaxed vacation, ideal for families – consists of a historical center and a tourist beach promenade – wide beaches, coarse sand
Lloret de Mar: – 65 km from Barcelona – most popular and largest city on the Costa Brava – lively and active – coarse-grained, golden sand – one of the cheapest travel destinations in Spain
Santa Susanna: – wide beach zone – very fine gravel – well-developed tourist center – excellent for family vacations
Blanes: – 60 km from Barcelona – southernmost resort of the Costa Brava – quiet, family-friendly resort – every year at the end of July, one of Spain’s most spectacular events takes place here – the fireworks festival
