Aires/Wild camping in Costa Brava

Hi all,
we have been to collioure and cerbere before and stopped at aires but intend going down into costa brava this summer. Do any of you have actual experience of aires there?
Also interested in wild spots or any cheaper campsites even. Not interested in the large rip off static campsites, just smaller ones with more character (I know its prob a big ask)

It's in the links section.

We wild camped in Tossa De Mar a couple of years ago at the back of a leisure centre. There were a few other campers here, just up where the bus is in the distance. The police drove through a few times on their rounds and never said a word.

The coast road to the north of Tossa is very winding with lots of gravel lay bys, few campers in these too. If you are around in July make sure to pop down to the festival in Blanes. Lots going on around the town for a week or so and the fireworks are like nothing I've seen before.

Never heard of that but sounds interesting! They have a night in Blanes when people run through the streets and people throw buckets of water at them from balconies, never did it and probably wouldn't either.

I don't know how our H&S inspectors would feel about that carry on happening in Ireland!

The firework festival in Blanes is slightly less dangerous, they have international experts come in and put on a show each for 3-4 nights. Most of the shows last about 30 mins. There is some sort of prize up for grabs for the best display.

The Spanish love their fireworks. They have at some stage during the summer an International Fireworks festival in Tarragona where they do the same sort of thing as in Blanes.

Each of the towns and villages try to out do each other with firework displays as well, there is no end of entertainment over the summer period.
