Costa Brava
It's easy to see why Spain's northernmost Costa, the Costa Brava, remains so popular with coach holidaymakers.
With a spectacular coastline made up of dramatic cliffs and secluded coves framed by towering pines and only interrupted by pretty harbours and seaside towns, the Costa Brava, which translates as 'wild coast', is the place to go for romantic unspoilt scenery, breathtaking views and some of Europe's finest Blue Flag beaches, not to mention a mild year-round climate.
Coach holidays to the Costa Brava have something for everyone.Hotel
