Nearby attractions

Torroella, which takes its name from the nearby river Fluvià, is close to some the most attractive and least crowded beaches of the Costa Brava. A favourite is Sant Martí de Empuries, with five small coves and a Greek breakwater. Its maritime walkway offers a view of the Roman ruins of Empúries and extends as far as the fishing town of L’Escala. The impressive Sant Pere Pescador beach is just down the road. If you prefer to search out a secluded cove there are several protected natural areas nearby along the coastline free from the pressure of mass tourism. One such area is the Montgri just south of lEscala and another is Cap de Creus, the easternmost part of continental Spain, where the Pyrenees run down to the sea. The road to Cap de Creus runs through the popular costal village of Cadaqués and passes by Salvador Dalís residence at Port Lligat.
The Dalí museum in Figueres is just 15 minutes away from Torroella, while Girona airport is 25 minutes away.

At any time of year there is plenty to do in this rural area dotted with medieval villages: markets to visit, local festivals, Roman ruins, churches and monasteries to see, good country cooking, great walks, bird sanctuary, sporting activities of all kinds. If you feel like some city life, Girona and Figueres are just 20 mins away or you can even take a train to Barcelona for the day.
