Costa Brava
Costa Brava, located to the north east of Catalonia in Spain, is an incredibly popular tourist destination for tourists throughout the world, most of who flock to the large resort town of Lloret de Mar. Costa Brava comes from the Spanish words meaning rugged coast – a fitting name for this region. Since the 1950s, Costa Brava has been developed extensively by the Spanish government to become a premiere holiday destination for the surrounding countries like France and the United Kingdom. Attracted by the fantastic weather, great sights and affordable package holiday prices, the region is usually full of these tourists and rightly so – anyone that visits the region almost always plans on returning.
Lloret de Mar is the tourist centre of Costa Brava, situated 40km from the centre of Girona and 75km from Barcelona. There are almost 40,000 native residents of Lloret de Mar. The main beach, the very pinnacle of what makes this town so popular with visitors is 1.6km long and 45 meters wide and is almost always full of holiday makers sunbathing, swimming, surfing and taking part in the many activities offered. When the sun goes down, the night life is legendary amongst the 18 to 30 year olds. If it’s history you’re after you won’t be disappointed either with sites like the Church of Sant Roma and the Castle of Sant Joan both being frequented in the thousands.
Nature lovers have plenty of reason to visit Costa Brava too with the main destination being the Cap de Creus Natural Park, a wealth of coastline, islands and deep water reefs and slightly more inland, meadows and forests to explore. Hikers will love the area too with hiking trails for hikers of any fitness, from meandering paths through the forests to hard tough climbs up the high cliffs.
