The Costa Brava
North of Barcelona the coast turns wild: clear-water coves, villages hung on cliffs and pines down to the waterline. There's no coastal train, so the day is built on buses, a car or a tour.

The gateways
Tossa de Mar with its sea-walled old town and Blanes as the southern gate are the most reachable by bus from the Nord station. Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc are the fine postcard; Cadaqués, the far jewel beyond Figueres.
Car or tour
A car gives cove-to-cove freedom on the winding road; the bus covers the big villages without hurry. An organized tour makes sense for many coves in one day without driving.
The camí de ronda
The coastal path stitching the coves is the best way to see the coast: one-hour stretches between villages with the water always on your left. Swimsuit on and water, always.
