L'Estartit

L'Estartit is in Catalonia. It's closest to Torroella de Montgrí

Understand

Due to its beachfront location and sunny weather in the summer, L'Estartit is quite popular with tourists from all over Europe. The abundance of "for sale" and "vacation rental" signs in half a dozen languages might make it look a bit artificial, but it does have a nice beach and easy access to diving sites just off the coast as well as the Iles Medes. There are also a bunch of campsites of varying price and quality catering to travelers from all over Europe, but particularly France, Germany, the Netherlands and the British Isles.

Get in

By plane

Most visitors that don't arrive by car fly into Girona Airport (GRO IATA), which is served by Ryanair, among others. The airport is some 50 km from L'Estartit and there are shuttles if you don't want the cost and hassle of a rental car. You can also conceivably fly into Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN IATA) though that is more than 100 km away and there is only a direct bus connection during July and August.

By bus

There is a direct bus to/from Girona operated by Ampsa. A single trip takes roughly an hour and costs about €6.

Get around

The village is rather flat and small, so walking and biking are good ways to get around. Do watch out for one way streets.

Sleep

Campsites, hotels and vacation rentals of all kinds dot the landscape from the beach to the mountains in the hinterland. It's hard to imagine they all get booked out even in high season, but parking can indeed become rather scarce quite quickly.

  • Camping Castell Montgri, ☎ +34 972 751 630, e-mail: . A campsite with two pools nestled into the mountain. Get one of the upper accommodations for the views, get one of the lower ones if you don't like schlepping up the mountain. There's music on the upper pool until midnight every day, which is audible in quite some parts of the campsite. (updated May 2017)
