Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i s'Agaró

Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i S'Agaró ( Catalan pronunciation: [kəsˌteʎˈðaɾu ˌpladʒəˈðaɾuj səɣəˈɾo]) is a municipality in the middle of the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. It is formed from two parts: Castell d'Aro (also known by the Spanish name: Castillo de Aro) is an ancient village built around a medieval castle and a fortified church, 3 km (2 miles) inland on the road from Platja d'Aro to Santa Cristina d'Aro; and Platja d'Aro (also known by the Spanish name: Playa de Aro) is a coastal town on the road from Palamós to Sant Feliu de Guíxols which stretches along a large 2 km ( 1+1⁄4 mile) beach. generally Castell-Platja d'Aro's population is about 12,000 but can exceed 100,000 in summer months.

Originally a small fishing village, Platja d'Aro is now a major coastal resort, popular predominantly with Catalans and villa-owning Northern Europeans.
