The Costa Brava is famous for its rugged, rocky coastline, where lively tourist areas have flourished. In the central part of the coast, facing east, you’ll find two long sandy beaches stretching across the Gulf of Pals and the Gulf of Roses. Beyond these beaches lie extensive wetlands that serve as important natural reserves, home to countless bird species resting during their incredible migrations between Europe and Africa.
