Costa Brava is a symbol of Spanish Catalonia. Here we will discover the magical Barcelona with the magnificent buildings of the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. The holiday resort of Lloret de Mar is a guarantee of a real fiesta, an ideal place for those who like to have fun. Costa Brava is called the Bath of Europe because it is visited by crowds of tourists, but it also has undiscovered corners. The coastline has two faces – the wild north and the gentle south. From the French border to Blanes, unspoiled beaches dominate, the sea is a magnificent turquoise color and the picturesque bays end with steep cliffs. Water sports fans will find great conditions for windsurfing, kitesurfing and diving.
