Empuriabrava once again had one of the best beaches on the Costa Brava in summer

EMPURIABRAVA / CATALONIA / SPAIN:

As always, it has just been announced that in the summer Empuriabrava, together with a few other places, received a very big honor: the beach was named one of the best on the Costa Brava.

There is the "Q" for tourism quality, which i.a. the safety, life-saving, information, cleanliness and garbage disposal, maintenance of existing facilities, access sanitation and leisure activities valued.
