Blessed with a beautiful wild coastline
The Costa Brava, lying to the north of Barcelona, is blessed with a beautiful, wild coastline flanked by rugged cliffs which create stunning little bays and sandy coves. The weather is reliably sunny and although popular with tourists the area still manages to retain its Spanish essence. The Costa Brava offers bustling seaside resorts and quiet fishing villages with an extensive choice of excursion possibilities.

Concerts
The venues on the Costa Brava tend to be outdoor ones such as the main squares in the medieval town of Peratallada and the beautiful village of Empuries.
In Barcelona, we have excellent relationships with several important churches, including the magnificent Cathedral. You can normally perform either as part of the Mass or in concert. Other interesting venues include the lighthouse in Tossa de Mar, the Ciutadella in Roses and the monastery of Besalu.
