ROUTES
AND ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA
You will find an amazing mosaic of typical
Metiterranean towns along the 200 kms. that constitutes the
Costa Brava. Beautiful beaches and small coves where the pine
trees come down to meet the golden sands and the abrupt rocky
coast line that gives the Costa Brava its name.
The bird reserve of the River Tordera delta offers the visitor
a natural landscape of interest. Just 30 kms, inland we find
the nature park of Montseny-Guilleries, a high rock formation
with its highest point at Matagalls, 1700 mts. high. A calm
world full of woods and springs where we find small towns known
for their romanic artistry and ceramics (Breda) or for their
mineral spa waters (Sant Hilari Sacalm, Arbúcies)
It is also an interesting cultural area. Going from Blanes to
Tossa de mar, we come across remains of the Roman and Medieval
eras. The Vila vella – old town of Tossa de Mar has conserved
almost intact the ancient medieval wall , an unique sea front
monument.
From Blanes, you can visit Barcelona, an authentic Mediterranean
city, or even Girona. To the north we find the Roman and Greek
ruins at Empuries, the Dalí museum in Figueres; and the
protected zones of the Nature Park of Cap de Creus and the marine
reserve of the Illes Medes at Estartit.
The gastronomy is another attraction of this area, consisting
of the most elaborate Mediterranean dishes based on the fresh
sea food produce and fresh grown vegetable produce of the area.
