The "Wild Coast "

Due to the ragged coast as well as lively structured landscape that is overgrown with pine forests the coastline along the northeast of Spain between the French border and Barcelona is referred to as the “wild coast”. One could though also think that the name is a clue to the nightlife of this region... Many coastal resorts provide an array of options which turn night into day with Lloret de Mar leading the way. It has a seven kilometre long beach and countless number of discos, bars and clubs.
The Costa Brava experience is dominated by sun bathing on the beach but those seeking sport activities will also find the region to their liking. Nearly all resorts provide windsurfing, water ski and sailing courses. Those who want to take it easier may consider renting a pedal boat, air mattress or canoe.
Should you seek to get away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal resorts then cool off in the oak forests which are situated away from the coast and waiting to be explored. The area of Sant Pere Pescador provides visitors with a spectacular nature experience. The nature reserve Aiguamolls de L’Emporda with coastal lagoons, salt areas and dunes are not only a nesting site for many water birds but are also of great importance to the fruit growing sector. You may like to go on a quad tour and take in the delightful landscape. Of course nature conservation is an absolute priority.
Regardless whether you only intend to stay at the Costa Brava for a couple of days or planning a longer vacation one should not miss out visiting the rocky bays of Begur and Palafrugell that gave Costa Brava their name. Also worth a visit are the fish markets in Blanes and Roses.
