L'Estartit Things to Do

snorkelling at illes medes is pretty fun, and medaqua is the tour operator to use. their shop is located down by the marina, past all of the restaurants.

sea kayaking is extremely fun, but beware, the solo kayak is very difficult to balance (i fell in three times).

L'estartit is the place for diving in the whole of Catalonia. If you have never dived start here, not in bad place that will put you off the sport!
There are huge groupers (big fish), octopus, rays and many, many more. The islands you see in photos just off the coast are full of holes beneath the water, making the excellent fun to swim through with dive buddies! There is even a sealed chamber in one area, so bring your torch.
My son is diving here for the first time and he is 10, so you can start young if you have good training...
How about climbing up to the castle at Torrenella d Montgri ( the castle on the hill), well worth it.
Its a drive, buy what about Port Aventura ( Spain's Universal Studio's) its a top class park compared to other home-grown rubbish. Have a look, just south of Barcelona, say cheap in Salou.

In the small harbour you can make reservations for a snorkling adventure. The boat will bring you to the giant rock just before the harbour know as the Medes Islands.

You'll get a free snorkel and the trip lasts about 2 hours. (Before entering the boat they will take a picture of you and at the end of the trip when leaving the boat you can buy a keychain with this picture in it. A bit pricy but a nice gesture.)

When the boat stops they will feed the fish and you haven't seen anything like this. Huge fish will swim around , beneath and over you. Great experience.

The old town of Salvadore Dali.

This artist was know for his expression in his art.

Check him out in the Salvadore Dali museum in Figueres. Figueres is also a nice place to visit for shopping or eating out.

A daytrip to Barcelona should definately be made.
Great city with great sightseeing.

I would recommend the local bus trip. They come in two colours , Blue and Red. The blue one travels the northern area of the city and the red one covers the south. Each line has it's own stops and things to see.

You can switch lines on a few locations and you can get out of the bus on every stop. Each 11 minutes there will be a new bus you can enter and continue your journey. This is a great way to explore most of the city in a reasonable amount of time.

The beautiful small town of torreolla de montgri. 1 euro and 5 min bus ride from L'Estartit this is one of the most historic and amazing little corners of old catalunya. If your there in july you'll catch the international music festival
