On the Costa Brava there are a lot of resorts, and the best known is Lloret del Mar. If you want to know more about these magnificent places, read further.

During the 50 s the former spanish dictator Franco was looking for new sources of incomes. He had the brillant idea to build some resorts on the Costa Brava (the wild coast). The success was immediately, and still lasts today: the tourists came and continue to come!

Lloret del Mar is a small town with 40 000 inhabitants. In summer come other 200 000 tourists, as the offer is very wide and generous, for all ages and budgets! The all Costa Brava looks fabulous: you encounter very often little golfs with hidden beaches, and also wide cool forests.

In the daytime you can relax under the sun, preparing for the night wild parties. Do not miss:

-sailing on the Mediterranean Sea, snorkeling and bathing. It lasts 4 hours and costs 40 euros

-Barcelona, a wonderful city only 70 km away

-the Montserrat Monastery, which is isolated and impressive through its history (it was build deep in the mountains, where appeared a black statue of Mary with the baby)

-drink sangria, tastes delicious! my favorite was the orange and the strawberry sangria.

-eat paella with sea fruits

-the marineland from Pallafols for your children, as the sea Zoo. A ticket is 21 euros for adults and 15 euros for children up to 3 years

But Costa Brava does not mean only Lloret del Mar. It also means Callela and Santa Susana, some new locations. Nevertheless, I had a wonderful time in Lloret del Mar.

But, there is another magic place on Costa Brava, if you are an artist: Cadaques, the favorite place of Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. There is also a rich museum with paintings of these world master here.

Do not postpone your trip to Costa Brava. Leave now, you will never regret!
