The traveller can't be else than
thrilled of Girona. >From the Costa Brava with its
small coves of crystal clear water, there are only a
few kilometres to reach the Pyrenees, where the mountains
of more than 3.000 meters are waiting for the fans of
winter sports. Between the two of them a spacious region
is stretching with small medieval villages, in the middle
of cornfields and fruit trees.
Macís de l'Albera, situated close to the French
border and the coast, is an ideal park for lovers of
nature and especially of Mediterranean turtles, a menaced
species, actually protected by different programs of
reinsertion.
One of the main attractions of the mountain massif is
the breathtaking view from the summits, a real palette
of contrasts between the colours of the sea and of the
land with the mountains on the background.
