Spains costa brava

Spanish riviera?, pardon me but what area is that?

As per Costa Brava, Costa del Maresme and Costa Barcelona -technically these are the names for the coast stretches going from Portbou in the border with France to Barcelona, here you have a few videos that might help.

For Costa Brava, the first one is an aerial view (no names) but good enough to have an idea on the landscape (http://infocatalonia.eu/w/AioW1), the second one is a collection of slides showing the names of the towns/cities (http://infocatalonia.eu/w/ri7ys) so between the two you can have a good idea on what catches your eye the most and plan where you'd want to stop. I must say it's difficult to decide because there are plenty of little towns with their own allure worthwhile stopping by.

For Costa Maresme this is an old TV documentary (http://infocatalonia.eu/w/TyzLw) which shows a bit of the towns you'd encounter on your way to Barcelona. Blimey it's an old 80's film but good enough to have a general overview.

And then Costa Barcelona, well, it covers the metro area of the city... so it's mostly in fact Barcelona itself.

Lastly, if you can make it, it's worth visiting Barcelona in September due to different important events happening that month: Sep 11th it's the National Day of Catalonia and 18th-24th (for 2015) it's the festivities of La Mercè, saint patroness of Barcelona and a big festival is celebrated. The program is published at the beginning of September, but you can see last years' here: http://merce.bcn.cat/en -over 600+ cultural, folk, music and heritage activities happening (http://infocatalonia.eu/w/coGFA) plus an spectacular pyromusical the last day of the festival: http://infocatalonia.eu/w/yWUwP
