Costa Brava, translated as the ‘Wild Coast’ is a beautiful coastline to explore. Day trips from Barcelona could solely consist of memorable days visiting the eclectic mix of towns and villages that edge this part of the Mediterranean Sea. It’s not easy to pick the ‘must-see’ places and if you hire a car it would be perfect to spend some of your stay exploring the coves and remote fishing villages along the natural, rugged coastline.
One such place is Llafranc, a beautiful old fishing village of white houses that almost merge into the fishing boats sitting on the golden sands of the bay. There are also the hidden coves and secluded beaches of Tamariu – the ideal location to lose yourself for the day. Blanes, the southernmost point of the Costa Brava is a great place to take the family. Over the years it has perfected the art of tourism and you can be sure to find all the amenities expected for a day at the beach, no matter what your age.
The Costa Brava is so much more than a day out at the beach. It’s an area full of history and beauty. The town of Tossa de Mar is a quirky mix of both, where a medieval fortress sits on the sands of the main beach. A great backdrop for your selfies!
