The Costa Brava is a coastal region of northeastern Catalonia, Spain, in the comarques of Alt Empordà, Baix Empordà and La Selva, in the province of Girona. Costa is the Catalan and Spanish word for 'coast', and Brava means 'rugged' or 'wild'. The Costa Brava stretches from Blanes, 60km northeast of Barcelona, to the French border.
In the 1950s the Costa Brava
was identified by Spain’s Franco government as being suitable for substantial
development as a holiday destination, mainly for package holiday tourists from
Northern Europe and especially the United Kingdom and France. The combination
of a very good summer climate, nature and excellent beaches was exploited by the
construction of large numbers of hotels and apartments in such seaside resorts
as Blanes, Tossa de Mar, and Lloret de Mar. Tourism rapidly took over from fishing
as the principal business of the area.
Cadaqués, an artist's paradise
Whilst part of the Costa Brava coastline lent itself to tourist developments on a very large scale other parts have retained a more traditional look and have become "hidden gems" for visitors who want a little more than sun, sand and sangria. Small towns like Cadaqués (close to the French border and close to the foothills of the Pyrenees) have attracted artists such as Salvador Dalí (Dalí's Museum at Figueres is one of the most important and visited museums in Catalonia) and Pablo Picasso and are now fashionable resorts. The coast between Roses and Tossa de Mar has many delightful small coastal towns such as Pals, Begur, Tamariu, Llafranc, L'Estartit, Aigua Blava, Fornells, Calella de Palafrugell, Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guixols.
