"Instagram your city"

L’Escala, Besalú, Palamós and Cassà de la Selva organise competitions for Instagramers


MARCH 2014

The digital photography platform instagram.costabrava.org has been created, a platform of the Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board for the storage, publication and sharing of all the photographs taken since January 2013 by participants in the "Instagram your city" campaign. The platform also functions as a calendar and registration form for users. It currently contains 16,641 photographs taken by 480 users who have entered the various photography competitions, along with the winning photographs of each competition.

In May the promotional activity "Instagram your city" was carried out in four tourism towns: L’Escala (220 participants and 2,663 photographs, viewed by 76,476 users), Besalú (89 participants and 978 photographs, viewed by 35,098 users), Palamós (81 participants and 1,190 photographs, viewed by 36,196 users) and Cassà de la Selva (76 participants and 1,010 photographs, viewed by 31,023 users).

Five "Instagram your city" competitions are scheduled for June: 1st June in Cadaqués, 8th June in Torroella de Montgrí, 9th June in Setcases, 15th June in Lloret de Mar and 29th June in Tossa de Mar.

Anybody can participate and follow the activity in the Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona social networks. The names of the winners of each competition are published on the @costabravapirineu Instagram channel with the hashtag #InCostaBrava.

"Instagram your City" is a new activity launched by the Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board with the goal of publicising and communicating the tourist attractions of the tourism towns of the Costa Brava and Pirineu de Girona destination on social networks.
