We are located 90 minutes north of Barcelona in the Baix Emporda region of Catalonia or more frequently known as the Costa Brava (known as the fierce or rugged coast). With its mild climate, transparent waters, countless blue flag sandy beaches and luminosity of the skies it's hardly surprising that in 2012 the National Geographic voted Costa Brava one of the top travel destinations in the world.
