The Costa Brava begins in Portbou (France) until Blanes, in the region of La Selva. In the middle is the imposing Cap de Creus which dominates the geography and sea conditions. The Costa Brava is full of beautiful landscapes, and a large number of ports and Sports Clubs and a wide range of activities. The northern part of the Costa Brava is famous for the strong north wind, the Tramuntana, which blows at many times of the year. Sailing to the south of Cap de Creus is quieter but it is always necessary to take into account the lowlands and areas of limitation in navigation such as the Medes Islands at the height of l’Escala.
