Girona
After 40-minute drive from Can Clarós, the beautiful city of Girona (Gerona) displays the colours of its old town on the banks of the river Onyar. With its cathedral and its monumental 86 steps, its churches, its medieval walls and ramparts, its Jewish quarter and Arab baths, its various museums, its culture, and its gastronomy, Girona deserves all the superlatives and more than one visit.
Can you recognise the filming locations of the famous series “Game of Throne”?
Castell de Sant Ferran
This military complex, built between 1753 and 1766, is the largest monument in Catalonia and the largest fortress in Europe. The complex includes fortifications, residential buildings, an unfinished church, a parade ground and much more. Due to the size of the site, tours are divided into two parts (indoor and outdoor). The tour of the ramparts utilises a 4x4 vehicle. It may include underground visits in small boats to drinking water cisterns.
Costa Brava
The 160-kilometre long Costa Brava is located in the north-east of Catalonia, between Portbou, the border town with France, and Blanes. Secluded coves, towering cliffs, and vast and beautiful beaches create a dreamlike setting. A string of charming little towns and fishing villages dot the coastline: Cadaques, L’Escala, Begur, Llafranc, Tossa de Mar.
Roses and its bay, Empuriabrava, Sant Pere Pescador and Sant Marti are the nearest beaches to the Mas, and can be reached in about 30 minutes by car.
Besalu
One of the most beautiful villages in Catalonia invites you to travel back in time to the Middle Ages. Every house on each street tells a story marked by the coexistence of cultures, the development of trade and the brutality of wars.
Juan Clarós, our hero, distinguished himself by liberating the city from a siege during the conflict between Spain and the troops of Napoleon I (1808-1814).
Lake Darnius
The 58 kilometers long Muga, has its source in Albanya to flow into the Mediterranean at Empuriabrava. In its journey through the Alt Empordà, it feeds, among other things, the reservoir of Boadella or in other words, Lake Darnius, the largest in the province of Girona. Only 5 minutes by car from the Mas, you can swim there, practice water sports and enjoy some Tapas at the restaurant of the nautical club. Along the course of the river, many natural areas including the Caula waterfall can be explored on foot, by bike or on horseback thanks to a network of marked trails and routes.
Hiking
With some 4,000 kilometers of short hiking trails and 5,000 kilometers of long-distance hiking trails, Catalonia is an ideal region for discovering the wide range of its landscapes between sea and mountains and enjoying nature, on foot and at your own pace.
We will be happy to advise you on the best itineraries according to your wishes and your possibilities.
Cap de Creus
The first sea and land park in Catalonia, the Cap de Creus Natural Park is located at the eastern end of the Iberian Peninsula. It was created to protect this rocky environment of great singular beauty, rich in coves, cliffs and islets and endowed with significant underwater biodiversity.
Nearby, some beautiful villages typical of the Alt Empordà, such as Port de la Selva, La Selva de Mar, Llançà and Cadaques, await you to enjoy a busy end of the day around a refreshment on a shaded terrace.
