The geographical location of what is now known as the Costa Brava, has been, for centuries, an area of passage and settlement for numerous towns and cultures, and the gateway to the Peninsula from the Mediterranean Europe. The large number of historical remains in the area are testimony to this fact.
Winds are also a very important feature of this coastal area. The Tramuntana, a cold wind coming from the north, is the most common and least desired wind by the locals, although the arrival of the Tramuntana augurs blue and cloudless skies. Another predominant wind in the area is the Levante, which comes from the east and is a warmer wind.
The weather is perfect for the practice of sports and various outdoor activities: playing golf, hiking, walking on the beach, or even sailing is possible for more than 300 days a year.
