Enjoy the Mediterranean Sea, unique landscapes and the magic of L&#8217;Estartit, a privileged corner of the Costa Brava.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why go snorkelling in the Medes Islands? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Medes Islands archipelago, located one kilometre off the coast of L&#8217;Estartit, is the only marine reserve in the country and covers 21.5 hectares of land and 511 hectares of sea, making it an area of exceptional value and unique in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>These islands include Meda Gran, Meda Xica, Carall Bernat, Tascons Grossos, Tascons Petits, Medellot and Ferrenelles. All of them are the last foothills of the Montgr\u00ed massif as it plunges into the sea, creating a spectacular environment both on the surface and underwater.<\/p>\n<p>The seabed gives them their extraordinary value and makes them a unique place in the Mediterranean, highly prized by divers from all over the world. You can see populations of seaweed, Posidonia meadows, coral reefs, species of fish, crabs, starfish&#8230; all of which make snorkelling here a fascinating experience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A perfect experience for couples and families<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Medes Islands are the ideal place for a romantic or family getaway. In L&#8217;Estartit you will find quiet and cosy apartments, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the privacy that large hotels often do not offer.<\/p>\n<p>During the day, you can sign up for a guided snorkelling excursion with one of the local companies, which provide all the necessary equipment and safety measures so that all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to enjoy the sunset in L&#8217;Estartit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After a day of sea and nature, there is nothing better than returning to your air-conditioned apartment, relaxing and going for a walk along the promenade at sunset. We recommend dining by the sea at one of the local restaurants, where you can enjoy fresh, locally caught fish and the best <a href=\"https:\/\/sagavinaestartit.com\/en\/the-gastronomy-of-lestartit\/\">Mediterranean cuisine.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your perfect getaway awaits you. Enjoy the tranquillity of being close to the sea and far from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life.<\/p>\n<p>Come and enjoy a unique experience at <a href=\"https:\/\/sagavinaestartit.com\/en\/\">Sa Gavina Apartments.<\/a> If you book in advance, you&#8217;ll enjoy the best prices of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Come and enjoy a unique experience at Sa Gavina Apartments.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snorkelling in the Medes Islands: nature, sea and relaxation in L&#8217;Estartit If you&#8217;re looking to combine tranquillity and adventure, snorkelling in the Medes Islands is an experience you&#8217;ll never forget.
