My trip to the Costa Brava


Hi today I will tell my trip to the Costa Brava so let 's begin .
First I went to the apartament it was very large, with great views , and the pool and beach were 2 minutes . Almost did the same plan every day , this plan was first to see a nice town or village that were recommended in the guide, then eat in that town , going to the beach and then go to the pool. The cities that  we saw were these : Torroella de Montgri , Pals, Besalu, Figueres , l' Empordà and L' Escala. The cities I most liked were Besalu i L' Escala. And I also liked the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres .
Now I will say you L' Escala and Besalu which are the two towns that have impressed me most as I said before .
Besalu Girona is a small town , halfway between Olot , Figueres, Banyoles ( other very nice people ) , which originated in the tenth century castle about Besalu . From that time the Jewish baths are preserved , the church of the Monastery of St. Peter and St. Julian, the house Cornellà , the church of San Vicente and above the bridge fortified entrance to the villa , buildings that together form a unit monuments of great historic interest , and in 1966 , declared a National Historic-Artistic and now , has been proposed to be declared World Heritage Site .
L' Escala is a small fishing village on the coast of Alt Empordà , just in what they call the Costa Brava Girona : small coves (many of them accessible only by boat ) , coarse sand beaches , deep edge (no having to walk a mile before you reach the water waist , five foot steps and you usually lose ) , rocky cliffs ending in the sea , deep green pines bending under inclement winds tortuously.
