Revisiting the Spanish Coast – La Costa Brava

Costa Brava Revisiting the Spanish Coast

Last year I was able to visit Costa Brava on the northeastern shores of Spain.  I have to say, I was having a nostalgic moment when Facebook brought up memories from last year’s trip.  For today’s Wordless Wednesday, I  thought I would share some other photos that did not make it into blog posts.  Enjoy these lovely pictures of Costa Brava Spain!

In 2015 when I attended my first TBEX in Costa Brava, at the end of the conference we were excited to find out that Girona would be featured in Season 6 of Game of Thrones. It was pretty exciting to see the Cathedral of St. Mary of Girona on screen.

Lloret del Mar, Costa Brava

We were in Lloret de Mar for the #TBEXCostaBrava conference. I had never been to Spain and this was my first foray to La Costa Brava. This part of Spain butts up to France and is home to the Catalan people, culture and language. You will see signs predominantly written in Catalan but you will be fine speaking Spanish anywhere.

I fell in love with Spain and hope to go back sometime soon.  The Mediterranean Sea calls my name.  The food, the people, the country is extraordinary and I have missed out on too many things.

  1. What a gorgeous place! I loved going on trips as a kid but they seem more amazing now as an adult. I assume it’s the appreciation of the beauty of the places more than the excitement of going on the trip itself?
