Torroella de Montgrí and l'Estartit are the essence of Empordà, a destination where nature, history and sea merge in an incomparable setting.

Torroella de Montgrí, a royal town on the slopes of the Montgrí massif, preserves a rich historical and cultural heritage. Its cobbled streets, palaces and stately homes tell the story of a territory marked by the passage of time and the influence of the Ter River, which irrigates its fertile agricultural lands.

L'Estartit, one of the most iconic tourist destinations on the Costa Brava, combines fishing tradition with a first-class nautical and tourist offer. It is the gateway to the Medes Islands, one of the most important marine reserves in the Mediterranean and a paradise for scuba diving.

The Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park surrounds this territory with three landscapes in one destination: mountains, coast and agricultural plain. Hidden coves and steep cliffs, the ecological wealth of the Pletera and Ter Vell wetlands, and the imposing silhouette of Montgrí Castle make this place a unique setting for unforgettable experiences.
