The Costa Brava and its historical villages
The silence that abounds in the mediaeval villages brings to mind the passing of time.
Here, memories are relived and it seems that dampness and age stand shoulder to shoulder. The birds start singing in the early morning and the sun warms you through at every street corner. There is something here that envelops you, something or maybe somebody hiding behind the ancient buildings. Wild nature creeps in, embracing, protecting everything that has been preserved for so many years.
