It has many faces. Wide beaches, bays surrounded by pine trees and steep cliffs, but also the surreal-looking rocky landscapes of Cap de Creus characterise Catalonia's "wild" coast. And I completely underestimated it. For me, the Costa Brava used to be all about "party", "Lloret de Mar" and "cheap hotels". Far from it. When I was there for about 30 hours, I immediately felt relaxed and calm.
On the Costa Brava you have both sea and mountains. Just 50 kilometres separate the coast from the foothills of the Pyrenees. There are countless beautiful beaches on the Costa Brava. Some sandy beaches can be found in quiet bays, while other beaches with their stones and rocks match the rugged coastal landscape.
Incidentally, Salvador Dalí was at home here and lived in a studio on the coast for decades. Hollywood celebrities also fell in love with this enchanting coastal strip and some of them can be found today in the various small towns with partly old, partly modern, but always beautiful architecture, who love the tranquillity here.
