The Costa Brava is located in the Province of Girona, and runs from the beautiful Catalan town of Blanes<\/a> all the way up to the French border. The towns along the Costa Brava were once mostly sleepy fishing towns, but things are very different today. Starting in the 1950s, many luxury resorts and Costa Brava vacation rentals<\/u><\/a> were built in the region, especially around the seaside towns of Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar, making the Costa Brava a top tourist destination for those looking for a trio of sun, sea, and sand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The “Rough Coast”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Costa Brava\u2019 translates as \u2018Rough Coast\u2019, and gets its name from Catalan journalist Ferran Agull\u00f3 who remarked on the coast\u2019s raw, rugged scenery and jagged shoreline. Unlike the Costa Dorada, which boasts a fairly neat, clean coast, the Costa Brava is made up of steep, rocky cliffs and natural features which result in its bays, inlets, coves, islands, and peninsulas. Photographers are often known to rent a villa on the Costa Brava<\/u><\/a> to capture this stunning and unusual look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sights & Scenery<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scenery on the Costa Brava is quite the mix. From your villa on the Costa Brava<\/u><\/a> you may see white sand beaches or wild marshland; lakes or tropical gardens; historic castles and fortresses or protected nature reserves with all sorts of flora and fauna. Blankets of beaches cover Platja d’Aro, fascinating rock formations rise at Palam\u00f3s, and a beautiful harbour cuts into Llafranc. There are even three separate and distinct lush green natural parks; Cap de Creus Natural Park, Montseny Natural Park, and Aiguamolls de l\u2019Empord\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Choosing a villa with pool on the Costa Brava<\/u><\/a> is an excellent choice for those who love nature and spending time in the great outdoors. The town of Blanes is also just an hour’s drive from Barcelona, so it\u2019s ideal for a multi-centre holiday, blending city life with more rural, back-to-nature living.<\/p>\n
