Costa Brava Travel, Spain’s Best

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Costa Brava was included as one of the destinations to be promoted for summer deals; a project by the Spanish Tourism Organization that has pledged and allotted a 4 million euros budget for the promotions of certain Spain summer travel destination like Costa Brava. Spanish Hoteliers in this Spanish region also dropped hotel prices as low as 25% to remain competitive for the tourist market.

One thing that caught my attention in Costa Brava is the presence of fishing boats and the fishing industry by some magic perhaps or play of fate- this wild Spanish coast has preserved its fishing heritage from its ancestors plus its natural air of authenticity in that part of the Mediterranean coast.

Peratallada street still bear some resemblance of the ‘past’ features of Costa Brava because of the presence of ancient buildings and houses. If you know Costa Brava do not leave until you shake the hands of Salvador Dali and his works at Cadaques. A visit to his home may take hours so prepare to make a visit to Dali’s home a priority on your itinerary. Cadaques beaches are also a haven to explore. You won’t be disappointed to swim in clear blue water. Cadaques does not also lack restaurants for tourist to enjoy, try La Sirena.

And as you strut to another Costa Brava travel itinerary then perhaps drop by in a shop who sells earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets and other body ornaments from beach pebbles decorated with silver ornaments, ropes and other materials. Believe me the accessories here are really cute and good for souvenirs.

Shops and postcards are also available in pals. Millions of sun flowers will greet you in an outlying area of Castello d’Empuries. Yes, this is a sight that would entrance every photographer and nature lover. Children would just love to play for a while in a playground located in Castello d’Empuries.

Costa Brava to my surprise has so many unwrap surprises and it just take a little resourcefulness to find them.
