Lifestyle Holidays at Castell Montgrí

Should you manage to get away from the site’s activities, there’s plenty to do nearby. Walk down to the beach for scuba diving and other watersports including paddleboarding, kitesurfing and kayaking, or take the kids to the rides of Parc JOCS (10 minutes’ walk away). L’Estartit is also the place to sort glass-bottomed boat tours out to the islands of the Illes Medes Natural Park; to see more of the local scenery above ground head to Aiguamolls del Baix Empordà (five minutes’ drive) or take a wander around the medieval village of Pals (15 minutes). For a bit more of the area’s history, visit the Catalonia Archaeology Museum in Ullastret (15 minutes) or step into the mind of one of its most famed artists with a trip to Castell Gala Salvador Dalí de Púbol (20 minutes). Figueres is about 35 minutes away if you’d like to continue on that arty journey, and Girona is 45 minutes away for day ambling around the walls, the cathedral and the Jewish Quarter.
