The back story
About The Costa Brava: the back story
The Costa Brava runs north from Blanes to the French border: rocky coves, pine-backed beaches and white fishing towns.
Getting there
Rodalies R1 runs up the Maresme coast to Blanes; for the coves further north, a car is easier.
Eating
Miramar in Llançà holds Two MICHELIN Stars and Castell Peralada One (2026).
A car gives you the coves; trains reach Blanes.
Our advice: stay a night: the coast is best early and late.
