Overview

On this tour we are going to visit the Girona coast, christened 100 years ago as the Costa Brava. The name is due to its unique rocky, rugged and cut shape coastline, composed of small coves surrounded by pine forests and lapped by crystal water.

In addition to the characteristic relief of its coast, the Costa Brava is also famous for its lovely towns. They were formerly small fishermen towns, full of houses with white-washed walls as well as medieval towns with stone buildings and narrow streets; to this day, they still retain their unique charm.

Throughout the day, we will reveal the most representative and emblematic towns of unparalleled beauty on the Costa Brava. As we explore these towns, we will also discover their diverse landscapes and contrasts. Their world acclaimed beaches will take your breath away.
