Costa Brava

The Costa Brava (Catalan and Spanish for „wild coast“) is the northeasternmost stretch of coast on Spain's Mediterranean coast in the autonomous region of Catalonia. The writer Ferran Agullo (born 1863 in Sant Feliz de Guixols) coined her name in the magazine La Veu de Catalunya in the September 12, 1908 issue.
