The Coastal Scenery
The coastline
'Local' probably extends up to Canet-Plage to the North, and down to Cadaques in the South. (Although there are many lovely bays and coves worth visiting further down the Costa Brava - until about Tossa del Mar)
 |
 |
 |
| Canet-Plage, a large, flat sand beach, with plenty of attractions in the season | Le Racou is our favourite beach. It is nearly the closest to us, and it is largely unspoiled. | There is an excellent beach restaurant at Le Racou called Menj Aqui, serving tapas and grills. |
 |
 |
 |
| Collioure is a lovely place to visit in the evening. | There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. | Parking is at a premium, however. |
 |
 |
 |
| Port Vendres is still a fishing and ferry port. | There are some seriously good fish restaurants here. | Banyuls has an old-world charm about it. |
 |
 |
|
| Banyuls makes a nice change from brash Canet or St. Cyprien. | Cap Cerbere is the place for wild flowers in the Spring. | |

 |
 |
| Agua Blava is well into the Spanish Costa Brava, but this is a lovely spot. | Tamariu is a delightful cove | Calella (near Palafrugell) is still a fishing village at heart. |
| Please note: Parking is at a premium in these Costa Brava villages | ||
