Along its route, we are shown a coastline that exudes beauty in every corner, with beaches of clean and transparent water located where just the Montnegre Massif touches the Mediterranean. The best thing about the Braves is that, in addition to enjoying the coastal landscape, it also allows us to explore a seabed of great natural wealth. It is ideal for both experienced swimmers and those who are new to open water swimming to discover, from Calella and visitors, the immense biological diversity of the area. A great combination of sport and nature!
