Located not very far away from the French boarder, is a popular destination for you to spend your Costa Brava holidays in: L'Estartit.

L'Estartit is a small town with not many inhabitants, but this makes it an excellent place for holidays in Costa Brava. Like many villages and towns along the Costa Brava, L'Estartit has been originally mainly a fishing village. But now tourism is its main sector, although fishing is still important.

The surrounding is beautiful; you can sail; windsurf or even dive near the port of L'Estartit or simply walk along the famous beaches (15 km) and enjoy the sight. There is also a mountain range which offers you a wonderful sight over the sea. You have a lot of Costa Brava hotels in L'Estartit that are close to the harbor, so I suggest booking one to wake up and immediately enjoy the sea.

One thing you have to see and admire are the Medes Islands or Islas Medas, a group of seven small islands that are protected by the Catalonian government. The islands were inhabited in the past, but nowadays they are not inhabited. The only building on the biggest Islet La Meda Gran, a lighthouse, was inhabited until 1930 but today is it automatic.

Molinet is the closest point to the Medes Islands, so you can walk towards this spot and observe the islands from there. But usually you can also see the islands from whole L'Estartit, so if you have a nice Costa Brava apartment in L'Estartit you can watch the islands from your room's window. 

If you wish to dive and explore the Medes Islands underwater, please be aware that there are strict regulations and special licences required. This is due to the need to protect this area and its plants and animals. So check the L'Estartit site to inform you about the regulations! And please respect the rules.

Golf in L'Estartit is also very popular, so you can use your Costa Brava holiday for that, too! Places for golf are the golf clubs Mont-Pla and Jocs, which offer you a beautiful location combined with your favorite sport during your holiday in Costa Brava.

Whether you like more sport activities or calm holidays, Costa Brava holidays in L'Estartit are always a good solution!
