Costa Brava Tourist Guide
All the basics for Tourism in Costa Brava !
The Costa Brava is the northernmost coastal zone of the Spanish region of Catalonia between the cities Portbou and Blanes. It is situated in the province of Girona. Costa Brava holidays feature a huge variety of landscapes and recreational opportunities.
Apart from the usual recreational activities on the beach under the sun, we offer a list of tourist sights:
- The Dalí Triangle: The most important point of this tour is the Teatro-Museo Dalí in Figueres, Salvador Dalí's birthplace, which boasts a huge collection of important works of the painter. The second stop is Dalí's house in Portlligat, Cadaques, former fishing huts the Catalan master has made his home and studio. Finally, in the municipality of La Pera there is the third station of the Dalí triangle, the Púbol Castle, which Dalí built for his wife Gala in order to fulfil his promise to make her queen of a castle. No matter what your Costa Brava travel plans look like, we definitely recommend this extraordinary artistic journey.
- The small fishing village Cadaques in Costa Brava is in itself a very special attraction for visitors. The characteristic streets of Cadaques makes the town a unique paradise. If you are spending your Costa Brava holidays in Cadaques, do not forget to visit Port de la Selva.
- The nature park Cap de Creus. The Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. It is the first marine nature reserve of Catalonia. The peninsula of Cap de Creus is a part of the Pyrenees foothills and has a very rich flora and fauna. Costa Brava holidays are very special because of the large number of walking tours you can make here, for example in Cap de Creus.
