Understand

The Costa Brava region experienced a major transformation in the early 2000s when it became a popular destination for wealthy Russians. They flocked to the area, purchasing luxurious villas and driving expensive cars, which had a significant impact on the local economy.

In addition to the rise in real estate prices, the influx of Russian visitors also led to an increase in restaurant prices, as demand for high-end dining experiences grew.
