Braving the new Costa

Forget its old reputation, parts of the Costa Brava are a good bet, says Chris Wilson

As we know, the Costa Brava comes in three parts. The high-risesouthern end is for the foreign masses, the northern part is flat andgood for water sports, but the middle section, the elbow, if you like,is the jewel in the Catalan crown. This is one of the places where thecity types go to get away from Barcelona. It’s a small unnamedarea around the villages of Begur and Tamariu with a rugged coastline,indented with coves where pine-fringed hills tumble into water so clearand with fish so stripy that you could imagine there was a coral reef.Here there isn’t enough space to put up high-rise hotels.Instead, small individual developments jostle with each other on thehillsides, competing to get the best uninterrupted view.
