Review:
Spain’s famous Costa Brava (Wild Coast) lies to the north of Barcelona where it offers day trippers a scenic and adventurous coastal day out. The town of Blanes marks the start of the Costa Brava and you can be there in about an hour. Beyond Blanes you will find a 160km stretch of rugged coastline interspersed by miles of golden sandy beaches, bustling tourist hot-spots like Calella, Girona, Lloret de Mar and a few simpler and quieter spots like Pals, Tossa de Mar and Cadaques. Along the way you can visit the Dali Museum (near Figueres), the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia (near L’Escala) and the Botanical Gardens (near Blanes). There are numerous wonderful places to stop and enjoy the view as you feast on a Catalonian lunch.
