We are walking today on the slopes of Montgrí Massif in the border of Alt Empordà shire when we were able to take a impressive panorama with L'Estartit and Medes Islands further.
The Montgrí Massif stretches from east to west north of the town of Torroella de Montgrí, sheltering it from the Tramontana northern wind. Local people call it simply "el Montgrí".
This long mountain formation looks like a sleeping bishop seen from afar. The Montgrí Massif is topped by an ancient fortress in the middle, the Montgrí Castle, a challenging fortress to be reached. Local people say the castle is the ring on the sleeping bishop's hand.
Would you like to climb to the castle?
