L’Estartit on the Costa Brava: Beautiful Nature
The diverse landscapes of L’Estartit make the town a starting point for continuous discovery through guided or independent routes, where you can observe hundreds of species of birds, trees, and plants, and discover new sounds and colors. There are protected areas, such as the Ter Vell wetlands, and a rich natural heritage. The mouth of the Ter River, known as ‘La Gola,’ is also an area of exceptional natural beauty. The imposing Montgrí Massif, crowned by its 13th-century castle, opens to the sea to form the Montgrí coast—over 10 km long—with steep cliffs, small coves, and caves accessible only by foot or by boat. Finally, there are fortified farmhouses (masías) that transport us back to a time when people lived in constant fear of pirate attacks.
L’Estartit and the Medes Islands
In addition to enjoying an extensive beach of fine sand, from the port of L’Estartit you can also experience the richness of the marine world, thanks to numerous glass-bottom boats that head out to the Medes Islands or follow the coastline. As we approach the Medes Islands, located just one mile off the coast, we also have the opportunity to dive into their waters and observe the abundance of hundreds of species of fish, coral, algae, and invertebrates—a whole world of colors right at our fingertips.
