Today people are increasingly aware that there is much more to the Costa Brava than beach-side resorts. This guide, written by two all-round naturalists who live in Spain, offers a wealth of information about the flora and fauna that you can expect to see on your walks and car tours along the coast and in the hinterland. Use this book to explore Catalonia from the French border south to Barcelona while on holiday -- or just fly out for a long weekend and take advantage of the good public transport from a base in Barcelona, Girona or Figueres.
