After the Costa del Sol, the Costa Brava is a 160-kilometre stretch of beautiful, rugged coastline in the region of Catalonia in the north east corner of Spain. Because, although it has suffered from development when the package holiday industry took off in the 1960s, it still has unspoilt corners, sheltered coves, some of the most attractive scenery in the Mediterranean and delightful beaches. You'll find modern, international tourist resorts with high-rise hotels alongside unspoilt fishing villages, sheltered rocky coves and medieval towns with ancient castles.The Costa stretches from Blanes, north of Barcelona, to Roses near the French border.
