Hidden coves, incredibly clear waters, medieval villages, beautiful coastal paths and amazing cuisine are just some of the things you'll find on the Costa Brava. If you haven't been yet, don't wait any longer!
🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE COSTA BRAVA WITHOUT TRYING
Gastronomy is so important in this area that some of the best chefs in the world were born and acquired their knowledge here, such as Ferran Adrià or the Roca brothers. All of this is the result of centuries of tradition and its delicious fresh seafood and produce, complemented by the famous wines of L'Empordà. Don't forget to try the anchovies from L'Escala and the suquet de peix (fish stew).
👁🗨 CURIOSITIES OF THE COSTA BRAVA
The Costa Brava has inspired countless artists to create some of their most famous works. Truman Capote wrote the book "In Cold Blood" in Palamós, and Joan Manuel Serrat gave birth to "Mediterráneo" in Calella de Palafrugell.
