Costa Brava, Catalonia

Costa Brava travel guide & transfers

Pine-covered cliffs, hidden coves and fishing villages

About Costa Brava

The Costa Brava runs 200 km from Blanes to the French border and is nothing like the flat resort coasts further south. Pine forests fall into turquoise coves, the camins de ronda footpaths link one beach to the next, and villages such as Calella de Palafrugell, Begur and Cadaqués have kept their whitewashed character. Distances between coves are short but the roads are winding, which is why most visitors travel by private transfer.
