A few weeks ago in this same section we proposed to take a one-day trip to el Delta del Ebro, where you could walk around by bike and enjoy this place’s flora and fauna, so special and distinctive. Today we drive in the opposite direction, to the north of Catalonia, one of the most visited by tourists area during the summer for its excellent beaches and coastal villages: the Costa Brava, at about an hour and a half far from Barcelona. This coastal zone extends from the town of Blanes to the French border and includes the Alt Empordà and Baix Empordà regions, in Girona province. Its wild and rugged landscape that characterizes its 214 kilometers long lashed by the “tramuntana” (a strong wind from the north), gave to this coast, at the time, the name “brava”. If you are spending some time in Barcelona and you stay in any of the ShBarcelona rental apartments this summer, this information will be very useful for you!
This part of Catalonia is also well known for hosting one of which was named best restaurant in the world, Ferran Adria’s El Bulli, located in Cala Montjoi (Cap de Creus). This Restaurant has been closed now for more than a year, but its spirit remains in this area gastronomy, which is enriched by quality products that come from their crops or fishing zones.
