The Natural Parks of the Costa Brava
The Costa Brava is a true natural paradise, where Mediterranean beauty blends with lush landscapes and rich biodiversity. Its protected parks make this region a haven for nature lovers and a perfect destination for outdoor exploration.
Montgrí, Medes Islands & Baix Ter Natural Park: a paradise of biodiversity
This park is known for its variety of landscapes and ecosystems. Around 75% of the area is land, and the remaining 25% is marine, spanning eight municipalities.
The Montgrí Massif, a striking limestone formation, dominates the region with its silhouette and preserves important historical heritage, such as a medieval castle and traces of ancient settlements. It is home to a wide range of flora — including wild orchids — and fauna like the eagle owl, Bonelli’s eagle, and various bat species.
The Medes Islands, a nearby archipelago of ecological importance, are world-famous for their Posidonia meadows, coral-covered walls, and underwater caves. These waters host a remarkable diversity of marine life, making it one of the top scuba diving spots in the Mediterranean.
Beaches and dunes stretch over six kilometers of natural coastline, providing habitat for species like the ocellated lizard, the Kentish plover, and native plants such as the sea daffodil.
Wetlands and marshes, shaped by the confluence of the Ter and Daró rivers, are rich in biodiversity. The Baix Ter’s agricultural plains are dotted with rice paddies and olive groves with deep-rooted traditions.
The park offers a wide range of outdoor activities — from hiking and cycling to water sports and cultural visits.
Cap de Creus Natural Park: wild nature and untamed beauty
Cap de Creus is the wildest and most dramatic corner of the Costa Brava — a place where land and sea meet in a truly unique way. Shaped by the Tramuntana wind and Mediterranean tides, its landscapes are full of surreal rock formations, hidden coves, and steep cliffs sculpted by nature itself.
Just an hour’s drive from our campsite, Cap de Creus is the easternmost natural park of the Iberian Peninsula — a peaceful refuge for adventurers and nature seekers alike. Winding trails lead to dreamlike spots like Cala Culip and Cala Jugadora, perfect for swimming in crystal-clear waters.
But Cap de Creus isn’t just about nature — it’s also about inspiration. This landscape enchanted Salvador Dalí, and appears in many of his works. Its magnetic beauty makes it a must-see for photographers, geology lovers, and anyone looking to disconnect in a one-of-a-kind setting.
