Costa Brava has been considered a package holiday, fish and chips and sangria destination, an image based only on few towns of the Southern Costa Brava. The real Costa Brava is a diverse region of extraordinary natural beauty and heritage (Dali, Picasso, Romanesque, Roman Ruins). Attractions include: beautiful beaches and coves, facilities for adventure sports, mountaineering and rock-climbing, a highly rated, distinctive cuisine, a rich heritage of Romanesque art, natural parks, highly picturesque towns, opportunities for country holidays and a good range of accommodation.
Capital of the Costa Brava is Girona, a walled city of Roman origin and located at a strategic point on the route between the Pyrenees and Barcelona. Girona has much to see in the way of a Cathedral, art & archaeology and an ancient Jewish quarter (El Call). Inland, a sudden change in the landscape marks the region of La Garrotxa, one of Girona's most verdant regions, features an exceptional Volcanic Area, with 30 craters and a protected space of over 12,000 hectares.
