Girona
The Costa Brava is an impressive region of Catalunya that stretches from the Mediterranean coast to the majestic Pyrenees, which form a natural border with France. Costa Brava, wild coast, makes reference to the rocky coast with its spectacular cliffs and countless coves, a favorite place for pirates in the seventeenth century.
Although famous for its beaches and sun, the Costa Brava not only has sun, sea and sand. The region is a haven of historical, cultural and gastronomic delights! A road trip on the Costa Brava is the best way to explore the region to your liking: you can mix beach time with a walk through medieval villages, and visits to cultural attractions with trips along the coast or in the mountains. Meanwhile, you will be able to enjoy some of the best food and wines that the Mediterranean has to offer!
The Patronat Turístic Costa Brava Pirineus offers you many options.
Tarragona
The Costa Daurada is one of the most attractive regions of Catalunya, stretching along the Mediterranean coast around Tarragona and combining long golden beaches, charming coastal towns and beautiful inland landscapes. Its name, meaning “Golden Coast”, refers to the warm colour of its fine sandy beaches and the sunlight reflected on the Mediterranean Sea.
Although renowned for its beaches and pleasant climate, the Costa Daurada offers much more than sun, sea and sand. The region is rich in history, culture, nature and gastronomy. Tarragona, with its impressive Roman heritage, is the perfect starting point for discovering the area.
Travelling around the Costa Daurada allows visitors to combine relaxing days by the sea with walks through historic towns, visits to vineyards and cultural sites, and excursions through Mediterranean forests and natural areas. Along the way, you can also enjoy the region’s excellent cuisine, local wines and traditional products.
With its combination of Mediterranean landscapes, ancient history, outdoor activities and gastronomy, Tarragona and the Costa Daurada offer an ideal destination to discover at your own pace.
