The wild coast, one camera at a time
The Costa Brava, the "rugged coast", runs north from Blanes to the French border, and it earns its name. Pine-covered cliffs drop into clear water, small coves hide between headlands, and the big resorts sit in the few wide bays. The webcams on this page follow that coast from south to north: the harbour and Sa Palomera in Blanes, the marina in the cove of Cala Canyelles at Lloret de Mar, the medieval walls of Tossa de Mar, the long beach of Platja d'Aro, the open sea off Palamós, the three seaside villages of Palafrugell (Llafranc, Calella and Tamariu), and, in the Gulf of Roses, L'Escala and Roses. Beyond them, on the far side of Cap de Creus, the fishing village of El Port de la Selva looks across its own bay at the mountains. Inland, Girona, the medieval city most visitors fly into on their way to the coast, has a camera over its old town and cathedral.
Who runs the cameras
They come from a mix of owners. Catalonia's public broadcaster, 3Cat, publishes still photos from its weather cameras in Roses and Platja d'Aro. Hotels, sailing clubs, marinas and estate agents run the rest, and many of them share their images through Windy, which keeps a 24-hour time-lapse of each. In Tossa de Mar, a seafront hotel and the town's tourist office stream live video, one of the Llafranc cameras is live too, and the sailing clubs of Cala Canyelles and El Port de la Selva stream their harbours.
When to watch the Costa Brava
The whole coast keeps Central European Time, one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland. Most of it faces east or south-east, so the sun comes up out of the sea and the morning is the brightest time on the cameras. In the north, from L'Escala and Roses to El Port de la Selva, watch for the tramuntana, a strong, dry north wind that can blow for days, mostly in winter and spring. Easterly storms bring the biggest waves to the whole coast, while summer usually means calm mornings, a sea breeze in the afternoon and beaches full by midday in July and August. The sea is at its warmest from late July into September.
