Costa Brava's culinary and scent offerings attract summer visitors

La Perla, a waterfront restaurant in Palamós on Spain's Costa Brava, is run by the couple Miquel Badosa and Estefania Tuquib. The venue combines fresh Mediterranean seafood with Asian ingredients such as ponzu, yuzu and furikake, creating dishes like tuna tartare with citrus and teriyaki, squid bao and salmon carpaccio that have become local favourites.

A separate guide highlights perfumes that evoke the same coastal atmosphere, recommending marine‑and‑pine scented fragrances such as Calvin Klein CK One, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò, among others, to capture the summer feeling of the Costa Brava.
