The Costa Brava stretches 125 miles from Cadaques in the north to Balnes in the south.  Costa Brava means "wild coast"  There are areas where the beaches are flanked with pine forests, hidden coves and golden sandy beaches.  There are also some crowded high rise resorts.  The Costa Brava has always been a favourite coast for tourists from the UK who don't like flying and there are a number of companies who offer coach holidays to the popular resorts. The busiest resorts on this coast are Lloret de Mar and Tossa del Mar.
