Adventurous Activities in Torroella
The mountainous backdrop and the lush green countryside that surrounds Torroella make it the perfect place for adventure junkies to get their kicks. Hiking routes crisscross the beautiful landscape, with short walks for the inexperienced hiker to difficult routes for those looking for something a bit more challenging.
Hiking to Montgri Castle is a popular pastime for active travellers, taking in the hills of Torroella and offering spectacular views from the top. It's not an easy walk, though, so only consider it if you know what to expect. For a longer route, you can hike from Toroella to the Castle and then onto Montpla and end up in L'Estartit along the coast. This route has stunning ocean views but it's definitely not for the faint hearted at 11 miles long.
Other adventurous activities including mountain biking in the hilly landscape, and water sports, like diving and exploring the underwater world, kayaking around the coast, and sailing out into the glorious open waters.
And, when you've finished your day of adventure, kick back and relax in our Torroella apartments, which provide a cosy, central place for you to unwind and prepare yourself for the next challenge.
