Our next section of travel is along the Costa Brava coast.  It’s all about the beaches, once the preserve of fishing villages and artist colonies dubbed Blue Paradise by the painter Marc Chagall. The 1950’s saw the replacement of fishing for the better economic model of government sponsored mass tourism.  Our first destination along this stretch was Tossa de Mar where the once famous English breakfast menu has now been usurped by a Russian one for the latest tourism boom.

Our campsite has the most unusual luxury of having its own 4 separate beaches (coves) including one for the all over tan brigade and one with a bar for mojito lovers.
