Stretching from the city of Barcelona to the French border, the Costa Brava is known for it’s breathtaking beauty. Translates to the “rugged coast”, the Costa Brava is a spectacular coastal area off the east coast of the spanish peninsula lined with a plethora of delightful stoned buildings and numerous quaint seaside villages. Chartering a yacht through the Costa Brava gives you the opportunity to experience the Mediterranean like never before.
Girona, the most famous town of the Costa Brava, is one of the world’s best kept medieval cities. An ode to the wealth of the city during its medieval days, Girona is like stepping into the past with it’s captivating gothic architecture. Girona is home to a plethora of galleries, museums, gothic style churches and medieval walls. An absolute delight to those with an artististic soul, Girona was once home to the artist Salvador Dalí. The city is split in two, separated by the Riu Onyar, which divides the more historic center of Girona of the east to the modern center of the west.
The quaint town of Tossa De Mar is a seaside town that is one of the last fortified medieval towns in the Costa Brava. Relax on the main beach of Platja Gran while the towering stone walls of the center embody the local castle. Explore the curving cobblestone streets of rustic cafes and restaurants before getting back on board to head out to the following destination.
The easternmost point of the Spanish peninsula is the small beach town of L'Estartit of the Costa Brava. Located beneath the mountainous areas of Montgrí Massif, you can easily pass the day relaxing on the sands or hiking the local wonders of the Natural Park of Montgrí, or the Baix Ter. Visit some of the other nearby towns that share the rugged coastline, perhaps even making a stop at the Medes Islands, where you can do some undersea exploration snorkeling, and if you’re lucky, even spot some dolphins passing through.
