Costa Brava
Costa Brava, also known as the wild coast, is located in the north-eastern part of Spain, in Catalonia. On this approximately 153 km of coast, there are rocky cliffs, as well as pebble and sandy beaches. The most visited beach resort towns here include Lloret de Mar, Malgrat de Mar and Santa Susana.
Barcelona
A Costa Brava holiday cannot be complete without visiting the Catalan capital. Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain, and it is a very exciting place to go.
Girona
This charming town with a rich history is easily accessible from almost anywhere on Costa Brava. It is definitely worth a trip, as the winding, medieval streets and colorful houses lined up along the Onyar River are guaranteed to enchant you.
Malgrat de Mar
The main attraction of the resort town in the southern part of Costa Brava is its very long sandy and pebble beach. It can also be ideal for those who prefer a calm holiday.
