Great number for today ! We've reached 500 days publishing Catalonia pictures and we will continue until our country finally become a new free country in Europe.

But, let's continue in our seabed tour around L'Ametlla. During our journey in La Llenya cave we spent some time doing snorkeling and we were able to able wonderful sea life.

The rocky environment help the specie's variety giving a good chance for divers to discover them.

Enjoy your dive !

Day 499 - 24/01/2015 : L'Ametlla seabed

There are a lot of things to do in L’Ametlla de Mar. The seabed in this area is a true gem in of itself. It’s no surprise that many scuba diving groups come here to discover its sea bottom and dive in these crystal clear waters. 

There are many companies that specialize in scuba diving; which offer doing a diving baptism if you do not have a license. If you are a more experienced diver you will discover the marine fauna at many levels or even explore the 5 underwater wrecks that sleep in these waters.

Or just you should do a pleasant snorkeling, you might discover amazing sea life as today's picture !

Day 498 - 23/01/2015 : Cala de la Llenya

Let's move on to the South, specifically to the Baix Ebre shire into the domains of l'Ametlla de Mar. We wanted to discover something different from Costa Brava and we were really impressed by the beauty of Cala de la Llenya cave when we stayed on during a day.

Being on the last week of August we were able to enjoy the peaceful area and diving almost alone in the beach, it was amazing !

To reach this cave you should look for the known but crowded Hotel L'Ametlla and follow the signs to the cave, it's only 2 kilometers from.

Enjoy !

Day 497 - 22/01/2015 : Coastalpath to Aiguafreda

As soon as you arrive to Sa Tuna cove (end of the old path from Begur town), if you want to continue discovering the wonderful Begur surroundings, you will have two possibilities.

One option is to continue following the beautiful coastal path (camí de ronda) to the north until you reach the small and rocky Aiguafreda Cove (10 minutes from Sa Tuna) and then travel further north until Punta de la Creu.

During the path you will leave behind sumptuous mansions some of them with its own pier, incredible !!!

Day 496 - 21/01/2015 : Aiguafreda panorama

Located to the east of Begur, is the Aiguafreda cove, a small cove sheltering under the Puig Rodó hill, with a small quay for boats.

The tranquil environtment that surrounds it, along with the water source available, makes it a perfect place to celebrate family meals while enjoying the beauty of the landscape.

This cove is naturally protected by the Punta des Plom and the Cap Sa Sal, which preserves almost intact its ancient beauty, and is remarkable for its calm and quality of its waters, pure and crystalline.

Stunning !

Day 495 - 20/01/2015 : Begur cape

Begur cape is the eastern place of Begur range which beside Sant Sebastia cape and the caves between them make up the most representative from Costa Brava spots.

The cliffs from Begur cape belong to the Nature Reserve of Begur Mountains which are the seaside piece of Gavarres range by creating a significant number of litlte slopes which are converted in cliffs when reaching the sea.

Due to the rugged terrain in this point, Cami de Ronda left the seaside to border the cape by inside paths.

Unspoilt Catalonia !!!

Day 494 - 19/01/2015 : Looking at AiguaFreda

Being in Es Plom viewpoint we should take a look on the North, we will come across with Aiguafreda's view, the last cave which belongs to Begur.

All the surroundings of Begur provide us fantastic Costa Brava spots but undoubtedly the unspoilt Es Plom area is conceivably one of the best and well preserved.

But the fact is the coastal path can't continue to the South because we face directly with the rocky Begur cave therefore we should lead to the North to continue our walk.

Enjoy !
