Costa Brava is a unique coast, in which secluded coves with sandy beaches alternate with steep rocky shores overgrown with Mediterranean pines and eucalyptus trees. Not only numerous owners of various floating facilities or oligarchs on super yachts can admire the views of the coast. By the way, it’s more difficult for them to turn around on our narrow lagoons. But ordinary tourists can also enjoy the beauties of this mediterranean coast! It’s enough just to take a tour along the Costa Brava on a pleasure boat starting, for example, in Tossa de Mar.

Short squeeze of useful information and photos of the Costa Brava, which you can see with your own eyes during the boat trip from Tossa de Mar, can be found following the link.

The city of Olot is located in the province of Girona in the northern part of Catalonia. This is the center of the administrative district of La Garrotxa, which is better known as the “land of volcanoes”. Thousands of years ago there were numerous active volcanoes (about 40 in total), threatening all the living. Scientists claim that the last eruption of the volcano Croscat occurred about 11,000 years ago. Today, volcanic crators are overgrown with dense oak forests, and in the fields, due to the high content of nutrients and peat, local farmers harvest rich crops. In Olot, among others, there is a special museum dedicated to volcanoes. And do not forget to try the traditional local herbal liquor “Rataphia”!
