I-VEO territories

Costa Brava

Coves, fishing villages and a medieval hinterland, between Barcelona and the French border.

The territory

A coastline of coves between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean

The Costa Brava runs for some 214 kilometres along the coast of Girona province, from Blanes to Portbou. Cliffs, pine woods that reach the sea, clear-water coves and villages that have kept their scale and character.

Behind the coast lies the Empordà: fields, farmhouses, medieval villages and a well-known food culture. It is a place lived in all year round, with a settled international community and many French buyers, as the border is close.

It is also our home: we have offices in Empuriabrava, Girona and Cassà de la Selva.
