Max Abroad : The Best of Spain

The Costa Brava is peppered with small out of the way beaches surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, and little coves tucked away among green pine trees … just waiting for you to sit there and let your thoughts drift out to sea. It is one of the most picturesque coastlines in Spain and the locals of many villages have fought hard over the decades to maintain it that way fighting against the powerful waves of tourist and business operators. Here are some photos that might just inspire you enough to visit the Costa Brava next summer or for a weekend break.
