Our municipality’s quality brand is Nature, whose ageless generosity can be seen in mountain, valley, river, orchards, wetlands, beaches, coves, dunes and islands. With the passing of time, the equilibrium between man and the land has become fragile, and we have had to provide the means to restore this precious balance. The newly created Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Nature Park is now making this possible.
Torroella de Montgrí includes 68% of the total Nature Park area of 8192 hectares (23% marine area and 77% land area).
There are many ways of ensuring that your visit to our natural park is more ecological. Here are some ideas to get you started:
The Medes Islands and the virgin coastline of Montgrí are a true paradise.
The various depths allow for all kinds of diving experiences for both amateurs and professionals.

The diving centres and the different activity companies will show you everything.
