€ 3,50

Located along the northeastern border of Spain, the Costa Brava first rose to prominence as a tourist destination during the 1950s. The name means “rugged coast” in Spanish and the craggy rock formations on its distinctive coastline could well have been sketched by one of the artists who call it home.
