Relaxing journey flying by drone the most beautiful towns in Costa Brava with relaxing music created by my friend Abel Jazz for this video. Take a look to his channel!
Locations in this video: Cadaques, Empuriabrava, Blanes, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar.
Cadaques
For most of “cadaquesencs”, the local people, it is a special place, but for visitors it is more than a special place, for many people it is like an island, and for some others it is remote town, for the residents it is part of their life and for holidaymakers it is like home… Cadaques offers a great deal of sensations, experiences and values.
With a population of about 3,000 inhabitants, Cadaques economy is based on tourism, an activity which has consolidated as the town’s main economic engine.

Empuriabrava
Empuriabrava (Ampuriabrava in Spanish) is one of the most unusual towns along the Costa Brava.
Sporting nearly 24 kilometers (15 miles) of canals, and 5,000 private jetties, Empuriabrava is the largest residential marina in the world.
For most of us that means it provides ample opportunity to gawk at how the rich and richer spend their money: in this case on expensive houses and yachts.
That said, reminiscent of Venice or Miami Beach, Empuriabrava is a major, upmarket tourist destination. It is particularly popular with Germans and the French, and - to a much lesser extent - Dutch and British visitors as well.
Normally home to 7800 local residents, at the height of the summer season the town’s population swells to nearly 80,000 people.
Center to center, Roses is only a 9km drive, proviving ample restaurants and bars.

Blanes
Blanes with its beautiful beaches. In the center, Sa Palomera - the rocky outcropping that marks the start of the Costa Brava
The seaside resort of Blanes is known as the Gateway to the Costa Brava - Catalonia’s wild coast.
It’s also known for its mild, comfortable climate.
Blanes itself is blessed with 4 kilometers of wide, golden-sanded beaches and ‘blue flag’ quality seawater.
Visitors from Catalonia, Spain, and abroad appreciate that Blanes is far less touristy than its busy neighbors to the north, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar.
Among Catalonians Blanes is in fact a favorite destination. It is easy to reach from both Barcelona and Girona.

Lloret de Mar
A popular budget holiday destination on the Costa Brava, the former fishing village of Lloret de Mar offers an appealing climate, great scenery and wealth of competitive accommodations. Visit the narrow streets of the Old Town and sites such as Can Xardo and Can Comadran, or take to the waves in Water World or sailing, parasailing or kayaking on the Mediterranean. A handful of excellent beaches round out the offerings of this Catalonian family resort, easily reached by car from Barcelona.

Tossa de Mar
Tossa de Mar is a pretty town with cobbled streets, constructed around a magnificent ancient castle, located in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Brava. The beautiful mountainous hinterland with lush green valleys, gorges and natural springs creates a stunning backdrop. There is also a bustling beach life in this attractive resort which appeals to couples and families alike.
An attractive part of this historic town is the Villa Vella (old quarter) with its ancient defensive walls and towers still intact.
Medieval Tossa dates back to the year 966; in 1187 the castle was built on the headland to defend the town. Today the castle is only invaded by tourists, who delight in the sense of history and wonderful views to be had from this, the highest point of the town.
The coastline is a 14-kilometre stretch of sandy beaches and small sheltered coves. The main beaches around the town are very well served by facilities such as showers, sun beds, kiosks, restaurants, bars, lifeguards, first aid, playgrounds and various land and water sports.
