Castell-Platja d'Aro is a municipality in the middle of the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. It is formed from two parts: Castell d'Aro is an ancient village built around a medieval castle and a fortified church, 3 km inland on the road from Platja d'Aro to Santa Cristina d'Aro; and Platja d'Aro is a coastal town on the road from Palamós to Sant Feliu de Guíxols which stretches along a large 2 km beach. Originally a small fishing village, Platja d'Aro is now a major coastal resort, popular predominantly with Catalans and villa-owning Northern Europeans.

Andres picked us up in Barcelona ... lovely morning drive to Costa Brava, followed by a 1hr hike to the beach where the wakeboarding session (hosted by Mark) would commence. The hike was beautiful (view pictures) and we weren't rushed, giving us plenty of time to take it in, and take some nice pics. Mark is nothing short of a legend. We were a group of 3 - neither of us had experienced anything like wakeboarding before. Mark is a great instructor and an even better character; he is personable and funny. I can't imagine a person better suited to this role than Mark. We went out for wakeboarding shortly after the hike was finished (admittedly I didn't stand up ... ) and Mark was extremely helpful throughout (not to mention very patient). We recorded some hilarious moments that we'll remember for the rest of our lives! Highly recommended for the thrill seekers out there - you won't regret it!
