Costa
Brava
The Costa Brava is a coastal region
of northeastern Catalonia, Spain, in the comarques of Alt Empordà,
Baix Empordà and La Selva, in the province of Girona. Costa is the
Catalan and Spanish word for 'coast', and Brava means 'rugged' or
'wild'. The Costa Brava stretches from Blanes, 60km northeast of
Barcelona, to the French border.
In the 1950s the Costa Brava was identified by Spain’s Franco
government as being suitable for substantial development as a
holiday destination, mainly for package holiday tourists from
Northern Europe and especially the United Kingdom. The combination
of a very good summer climate and excellent beaches was exploited by
the construction of large numbers of hotels and apartments in such
seaside resorts as Blanes, Tossa de Mar, Lloret de Mar and
l'Estartit. Tourism rapidly took over from fishing as the principal
business of the area.
Whilst part of the Costa Brava coastline leant itself to tourist
developments on a very large scale other parts have retained a more
traditional look and have become "hidden gems" for visitors who want
a little more than sun, sand and sangria. Small towns like Cadaqués
(close to the French border and close to the foothills of the
Pyrenees) have attracted artists such as Salvador Dalí and Pablo
Picasso and are now fashionable resorts. The coast between Roses and
Tossa de Mar has many delightful small coastal towns such as Pals,
Begur, Tamariu, Llafranc, Aigua Blava, Fornells, Calella de
Palafrugell, Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guixols.
Environmental protection
In 1998 coastal towns of the Costa Brava signed a charter the Carta
de Tossa which undertook to pursue environmental protection along
with tourism. This recognised the value of the region's wide range
of natural habitats and micro-climates. The Illes Medes off the
coast of L'Estartit is Spain's first maritime nature reserve and it
provides a home to a wide range of fish and acquatic flora. The
nearby wildfowl reserve on marshlands at l'Emporda also saved land
from the potential ravages of development.
