Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava in Catalonia
One of the corners of Spain that has major tourist attractions and greater historical charm is, without a doubt, the Costa Brava in Catalonia.
The Costa Brava is in the province of Girona, and this denomination covers the coastal area that goes from Blanes to the border with France, but a holiday on the Costa Brava also involves excursions inland and to the foothills of the Pyrenees.
In fact, the trips I've made the Costa Brava In recent years, visits have not only focused on regions of Alto and Bajo Ampurdán or in Jungle.

Travel to the Costa Brava It has the appeal of visit the city of Girona, a very pleasant surprise for the great charm that encloses its medieval town.
Of course, the central focus of the trip will surely be the stay in one of its beautiful and very touristy coastal towns, where you can enjoy its famous coves, with beautiful corners of the coast whose best way to appreciate them is walking through the round roads such as S'Agaró in Playa de Aro.
But during the trip you will also have the opportunity to make excursions to medieval villages With great charm.
And you can also visit the one known as Dalí triangle, whose main reference is the Dalí de Figueras museum, as well asRomanesque monasteries Like the ones of Ripoll or Sant Pere de Rodes.
And, of course, enjoy its summer festivals or its gastronomy.

Coastal towns in Costa Brava
From my point of view, Calella de Palafrugell and Cadaqués can be considered as the best exponent of the charm of the coastal towns of the Costa Brava.
But the medieval side of the very touristy Tossa de Mar, Begur with its coves and medieval castle, and Palamós with its beach and fishing port, are very attractive places to visit on the Costa Brava.
