This illustrated guide offers an introduction to the Costa Brava, from its historical and cultural background to the latest events and attractions. Throughout 1996, Spain attracted 61.7 million visitors from all over the world. The UK accounted for 8.8 million of these. This edition contains 13 easy-to-follow routes, all accompanied by detailed maps of the Costa Brava, the Costa Dorada and much of the Catalonian hinterland, including the Pyrenees and Andorra. The three main Catalonian cities of Barcelona, Tarragona and Gerona are each described in detail, with their own separate maps.
