Obviously after the photo I take a bath.
*The Costa Brava is a coastal region of northeastern Catalonia, 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 and France. The combination of a
very good summer climate, nature and excellent beaches was exploited
by the construction of large numbers of hotels and apartments in such
seaside resorts as Blanes, Tossa de Mar, and Lloret de Mar. Tourism
rapidly took over from fishing as the principal business of the area.
Whilst part of the Costa Brava coastline lent 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 (Dalí's Museum
at Figueres is one of the most important and visited museums in
Catalonia) 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, L'Estartit, Aigua Blava,
Fornells, Calella de Palafrugell, Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guixols.
