It’s the coastline of Girona province, 256 kilometres long.
As the name “fierce coast” implies, it’s rocky but with superb beaches and coves.
The Costa Brava is formed by old fishermen’s villages that still preserve the traditional architecture.
Enjoy beautiful nature, crystal-clear water beaches and coves.
And discover the coastal paths known as “camins de ronda” that communicate with many villages. It’s the best way to get to hidden coves and see amazing cliffs.
Villages we can visit:
TOSSA DE MAR
