A set of lifetime experiences in Costa Brava

Now, a recommended link!

Velvet Escape blog perfectly summarizes in a set of pics and a few lines what are the main unique experiences you can live when visiting Costa Brava. From the culinary excellence of El Celler de Can Roca and El Bulli to a skydive in Empuriabrava, a visit to the Dalí Museum in Figueres or Dalí's house in Portlligat, to a stroll in Girona's old city.

Go to Once in a lifetime experiences in Costa Brava to see all the fun those guys had and that you can also have!

But first get a taste of what the link has with these pictures of our own!

Cadaqués recreated in Xiamen bay

From http://www.catalannewsagency.com/news/life-style/costa-brava-village-cadaqu%C3%A9s-will-be-copied-china (in English)

As already published here in sinalunya.com on October 8th, 2010, under the title of "Coastal village of Cadaqués to be recreated in Xiamen, China", Catalan News Agency reports on March 31st, 2011 that the project is starting to take shape, although it will not be finished until 2018. Chinese architects are determined to capture every detail in order to reproduce the village of Cadaqués in Zhangzhou, a city in the Xiamen bay, where the figure of Salvador Dalí will also play an iconic role.
