One such beautiful place of Spain is the Costa Brava which is a part of the province of Catalonia.

Beach:

This is the star attraction of Costa Brava. The uniqueness of beaches in Costa Brava is the maintenance of the beach.

It is no wonder that Costa Brava beach is always on the top of the most preferred beaches for entertainment and sports like water sports, beach volley ball, etc.

Parish church:

Town hall:

The city municipality purchased this building in the year 1982 from the previous owners Cabanyes Font family. This house is believed to have been built in the year 1877 by St Pere del Bosc. The building is a masterpiece work of architecture which deserves to be preserved as an example for the future generation. It is converted as a municipal museum. Of course now the town hall is relocated to another historical building believed to have been built in the year 1872.
