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, Romanesque, Roman Ruins).
A traditional fishing port, Sant Feliu de Guixols has beautiful architecture and good restaurants. Its neighbour, S'Agaro was founded in the 1920s as a Modernist destination for the rich and famous. Platja d'Aro offers 3 kilometres of busy beach, bars and shops. Palafrugell has maintained its position at the hub of its three coastal offshoots: Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu. Palamos is situated at the eastern end of the wide bay that bears its name. Begur is a stylish town with a profound historical personality.
Further North, the 4 kilometre beach of Pals, while inland the restored medieval village of Pals and Peratallada. The town of Roses was founded by the Greeks 3000 years ago and has thrown itself into tourism. In the old days the superstars of the avant guard - Picasso, Bunuel, Lorca - and their entourage came to visit Salvador Dalí's eccentric house in Cadaques. 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.
