Introduction
The Province of Girona is an ideal destination for summers on the beaches, winters skiing in the Pyrenees and fascinating history all year.

The beach resorts of the Costa Brava have been a highly popular focus of real estate development for many years. Costa Brava, the coast line of the Province, stretches 37 miles from the Barcelona Province border in the south to the French frontier in the north. We have grouped the beach resorts into four adjoing sections. Lloret de Mar is the most popular sea resort, known for its extensive nightlife. Another interesting resort, Roses, was the home of El Bulli, said to have been the word's best restaurant.
