L'Estartit Holiday
Overview: 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. Activities in and around L’Estartit are more relaxed than the more frenetic resorts along the coast, like sail cruises, glass-bottomed boat rides, kayaking, horse-riding, cycling and bird-watching. The town itself offers plenty of exciting shopping and dining options.
