28. Copa Sant Vicenç

International youth football tournaments 2012 at the Costa de Barcelona-Maresme

Interesting Facts

The Costa Maresme runs from the town of Tordera in the north to Barcelona in the south, and has a length of about 50 km. This coast is characterised by long, sandy beaches, lively boulevards, and fun tourist towns, such as Malgrat de Mar, Santa Susanna, Blanes, Calella and, of course, Lloret de Mar situated on the Costa Brava to the north. The Costa Maresme offers plenty of opportunities to relax (restaurants, outdoor cafés, beaches), go shopping and party the night away (discos, night-clubs). It also provides various options for (water) sports. And, of course, there is a stadium or a football pitch in every town.
