About the region of the 

      Costa Brava and Catalunya

 

                                                                                 The capital city of Barcelona in the beautiful         region of Catalunya has many historical and beautiful buildings, which include palaces, cathedrals, bull rings even shops have been converted out of fantastic architectural masterpieces. Marks and Spencer's have converted one of  the oldest and certainly largest banks  into  a large store. The city is particularly famous for the architect Gaudi who has many      buildings scattered around the city. Then              there are modern buildings like the Nou Camp      stadium and shopping centres with all the          designer shops you would expect in this rich city.

 

 

      

 

Coming up the coast to our particular area there is a dramatic change in scenery with high mountains lush in pine forests and lots of small rocky coves and sandy beaches.


 

 The water front is just as impressive  with its mixture of new and old buildings. Here you will find many    bars and eating places, and at the bottom of the rambles which leads you back into Barcelona is the famous statue of Columbus.                                          

         

 

The beach at Platja d'Aro is the largest in the area with many bars and restaurants along the promenade. At the end of the bay is the marina full of  luxury boats. Nearby there is a large water park and for keen golfers there are some beautiful courses just outside the town.
