My stay in l'Estartit was rejuvenating. I took advantage of Gabriel's generous discount and stayed for a month. It still wasn't long enough. The apartment is small but has everything you need. And the Internet is good if you need it for work for example. I had some difficulties accessing folders using vpn but this wasn't too problematic and I managed to work successfully while there. The view from the apartment is stunning and the sea is so close you can almost touch it from the balcony. L'Estartit is a beautiful place and whilst it is useful to have a car it's certainly not essential. Supermarkets are about 10mins away (or across the road from June). It's advised to use bottled water even for making tea/coffee in this part of Spain. If you like to walk or cycle (you can rent bikes locally) it is ideal, there are so many trails in and around the nature reserves, I even found a viewing platform used to watch the wildlife. The walk to the nearest town Torroella de Mongri is worthwhile as it's through beautiful cataluynian countryside, though it will take about 90mins or take a 10mins bus ride. There's also a mountain to climb if you're up for it. Ensure good walking shoes as there's lots of rocks along the path which is a little steep in places, or really steep if you choose the quick way up. Unfortunately I didn't make it all the way to the Castell because of high winds but I'll be back to try again. I would recommend you visit Girona, Pals and Begur, all of which can be reached easily by public transport. And find the cap de la Barra which gives a great view of the Illes medes. Lastly, I can't say enough about how wonderful a host Gabriel is. He goes above and beyond what is expected of an Airbnb host. Huge thanks G. I hope to be back soon, I have a mountain to climb after all.
