Hotel Costa Brava: Resort development in the 20th century has mostly followed the lines of the sea. Great lines of resort hotel costa bravas are found on both Florida coasts; in the San Juan area of Puerto Rico; on Jamaica's north shore, the U. S. Virgin Islands, Nassau, and Bermuda; at Acapulco in Mexico; in Portugal's Algarve; and on the Costa Brava and Costa del Sol of Spain, the French and Italian Rivieras, the Greek islands, and the Black Sea coast of Rumania and Bulgaria. Hawaii has enjoyed an enormous resort development since statehood. Waikiki's "hotel costa brava row" now rivals that of Miami Beach, and resort hotel costa brava-building has jumped to the neighboring islands of Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai, and to the windward side of Oahu.
The second and third tangents from Barcelona are coastal ones, southwest to Sitges—hotel costa brava Terramar, and northeast, along the Costa Brava, to S'Agaro—Hostal de la Gavina. Both are superb seaside resort hotel costa bravas, the latter being of artistic and super-luxurious quality and so popular with Barcelona plutocrats that it is booked solid for months ahead.
Fishing has, of late years, become highly popular in the rivers of the north and northwest, and deep-sea fishing flourishes along the Mediterranean coast, while night fishing, by flares, is being taken up in a big way along Catalonia's Costa Brava.
9. Spas and Health Resorts La Toja, near Vigo, is by far the most luxurious and widely known spa of Spain. La Toja's big, modern hotel costa brava Mneario is a place of social elegance, where evening dress is generally worn at dinner. The whole wooded island on which it stands is a sport center (swimming, fishing, sailing, tennis, etc.) quite rivaling in appeal the "call of the waters" which help to cure arthritis and rheumatism.
