While equipped with all the infrastructure demanded by modern holidaymakers, the Costa Brava resort town of L'Estartit also allows visitors to enjoy the surrounding natural heritage. Coastal trails extend from the town through dunes and marshes, bicycle trails meander along the banks of the River Ter and just offshore the Medes Islands provide an underwater wonderland.

There are lots of activities in and around L'Estartit like sail cruises, glass-bottomed boat rides, kayaking, horse-riding, diving, snorkeling, cycling and bird-watching. The town itself offers plenty of exciting shopping and dining options.
Estartit has a 4 kilometre stretch of golden sandy beach, which even in the busiest of seasons, never gets to be full, there is always plenty of space for everyone. The small Marina is charming and very picturesque. It is a lovely walk around the Marina passing the many restaurants serving excellent Spanish dishes.
There are also many cafes and shops. A long pretty promenade stretches along the front of Estartit - a relaxing place to wander, sit, meet up with friends and benefit from the lovely atmosphere of Estartit.

COSTA BRAVA
The ruggedly beautiful Costa Brava holiday coast stretches for 100 miles (160km) along the shores of Catalonia in Spain’s north-eastern corner, from Port Bou on the Franco-Spanish border to Tossa del Mar, just north of Barcelona.
The coast has a reputation as one of Europe’s best holiday destinations. Holidaymakers revel in the hidden delights of the craggy coastline, many exploring in boats to seek out deserted coves redolent with pine and citrus trees, fragrant herbs and bright flowers. International resorts and marinas lie in close proximity to relatively unspoilt fishing villages and towns bearing evidence of the area’s rich history with ancient castles and fortifications. Offshore divers revel in the abundance of wrecks to explore in the crystalline waters, while seemingly endless sunshine pours down on stretches of sandy or shingle beach. The untouched natural areas and fishing industry have also resulted in making a holiday here a gastronomic treat.
Seafood reigns supreme, from sardines to delicious lobster, but specialities also include local wild game, like boar, duck and rabbit, which can all be washed down with a variety of wines produced from the vineyards that clothe the hillsides.
