Internationals join SOS Costa Brava conservation group

The conservationist struggle to protect Catalonia’s northern Costa Brava coast from further development projects has found dozens of new allies among foreigners residing in the area.

Most of them are retired European citizens, with many Germans but also French and British citizens, who live in seaside towns in the area, one of Spain’s main tourist destinations.

Around 50 of them have officially launched the international branch of the SOS Costa Brava group, a network of grassroots organizations fighting against the urbanization of the area.
