This beautiful rocky coast begins from Blanes, 24 Nm Barcelona eastwards and spreads out to French border. Costa Brava owes this name mainly its northern part, from L'Escala to Portbou because the area from Blanes to L'Escala has developed.

The unusual beauty of Costa Brava has attracted many famous people who have spent their free time here or created works of literature and painting. The history of the region is very rich and archaeological relics recall the presence of Iberian, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths and Arabs.

Nature was very benevolent for Costa Brava because so many of its gifts can be found on such a small area. Exuberant vegetation comes to the blue and green sea, reaches its shore casting green light on golden beaches or ascends high on rocky cliffs. The annual mean temperature is 16 C but summer is not so hot here due to blowing Tramontana from the north, Garbi from South West, Levante from East and Mediodia from South.

Costa Brava has only 80 Nm but posses 26 ports and 100 anchorages so there is quite a wide selection to choose from. The souther most part of the coast between Blanes and Tossa de Mar is afforested with many coves and is separated by the mountain chain Sierra Las Gevarras reaching the sea from the central part of Costa Brava, named Baix Emporada.
