Cataluña is divided into four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona with their own separate local governments. Each of the coastal provinces has its own costa. Tarragonna has a 216km coastline called the Costa Duarada. The Barcelona province is divided into two short costas, the 58km Costa Garraf to the west of the city and the 43km Costa Maresme to the east. The Girona province that borders France has the best known of Cataluña's costas, the 214km Costa Brava. The Costa Duarada coastline extends from Punta de la Banya northwest to Cap de Sant Pere and has 18 harbours. The Costa de Garraf coastline extends from Vilanova i la Geltrú in the west and north east to Montgat. Along this short coastline are 11 harbours most of which exist to meet the demand for berths around Barcelona. The Costa Maresme covers a 26 mile stretch of coast just north of the Barcelona city conurbation from Montgat to Maigrat de Mar and has five harbours. The Costa Brava is a rugged coastline stretching from Blanes in the south to the French border in the north with 17 harbours.
All of these harbours are reviewed in a standard format that contains: a harbour diagram with key locations, photographs, distances to nearest harbours, harbour swell indicator and a general description. The first two chapters provide useful tourist information about Cataluña and advice on cruising this coastline. The last four chapters contain the specialised nautical language you may need. . Available as a printed book or on CD as an Ebook. Book extracts are given below.
