The kayaks offered were of very good quality, no problems at all with the material. However, being a couple just renting kayaks for our own half day trip we felt neglected by staff despite the fairly unbusy day. Upon arrival our reservation was dealt with...MoreThanks for your review Trav459. Sometimes we are really full, but isn't excuses. So sorry if you felt underserved and we will act for resolve it. Thanks.
2. Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes

Reviewed By MarioCavaradossi - New York
The large monastery is impressive by itself but the location, perched on an outlook with a view of the sea, was breathtaking.
They provide audioguides with the entry fee and they're pretty good. You can control the amount of detail you want at every point.
I wouldn't come here in the rain; you'd be missing quite a lot.

We went having checked the website which claims to have guided tours of the castle and walled area. When we got there it is closed and looks as if it has been for a while. There is a sign pointing to visitor information at the castle but it points at locked gates.
5. Walter Benjamin Memorial

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain
Walter Benjamin Memorial is a beautiful and emotional memorial to remember the jewish and german philosopher, who suicided in the little town of Portbou (near the border between Spain and France). The memorial evoke an entrance to the sea from cliff without the possibility of return to the land. It is impressive!
Moreover, this monument is located close the cemetery of Portbou, which has a beautiful views of the sea and the emotive grave (or monument, I do not know) of Walter Benjamin.

Mas Gelamà vineyards and winehouse, with its rural gite/villa is an extraordinarily beautiful and comfortable place to stay for self-catering. We spent two nights with family and friends the 29th and 30th May, 2014.
Mas Gelamà burgeons with authentic character and charm. It is beautifully and well furnished and it is equipped with everything needed to make one’s stay comfortable. It has three spacious, double bedrooms, two full en suite baths and another full bath at the entry of the third bedroom. The beds are comfortable (but might be “just” if you’re over 6’2”) and the towelling and linens are spotless. Although not of the absolute highest quality, and as they are provided complimentarily, I will not judge the sheets too harshly because we normally have to pay for them in rural gites in France. And, housekeeping at the end of the stay is included in the price as well, which is a bonus. The communal rooms are of generous proportions and there are two terraces for al fresco dining. There is a large stone barbecue in the garden and we were provided with vine wood for cooking. Ample free parking, free wifi and spotless accommodations top off the extras.
Third generation (I believe) vintner, Señor Roger Rius Pedret, lives on premise and was there to greet us with a very warm welcome. His gracious hospitality, availability and assistance with all aspects of our stay contributed immeasurably to our experience. No question or request went unanswered.
The villa is situated in an excellent location for discovering the region and all its historical and cultural sites, its villages, cities and Beaches. The village of Vilajuïga is a five minute walk from the gite and has a small Spar, a bar and restaurant, a butcher and other commerce for immediate needs. It also has a tourist office. It is within easy reach of the Dali triangle, the magnificent city of Girona, the medieval village of Castelló d'Empúries, the nature reserve of Aiguamolls Emporda and the Roman and Greek ruins of Empuries. The Creus cape head and the Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes is a ten minute drive away. The La Garrotxa volcanic region of Catalunya, the commercial city of Figueres and the popular beach town of Roses are all within a short driving distance. And the list goes on and on. There are boundless things to see and do in the area. So, Mas Gelamà is a perfect base for discovering the region.
One of the highlights of our stay, however, was a very intimate, hour and a half walking tour of the vineyards of Gelamà, soaking in the exceptional, panoramic views and listening to Roger’s accompanying explanation of the history of the Gelamà vineyards and of all things related to oenology. And, of course, the wine tasting afterward was a delicious treat and end to a magical afternoon. Whilst we dashed away to catch views of the setting sun from the nearby Mountains (at Roger’s suggestion), Roger set up our wine tasting / aperitif in the garden next to the barbecue where we were preparing our dinner. The care and passion that Roger has for his chemical-free vineyards are reflected in the quality of his wines. We bought his red and white wines to bring home and they were just as good out of the holiday glow as they were on holiday.
There are three final points I have to make that might concern certain people. However, none of these points detracted or disturbed whatsoever any of us during our stay. We all concurred that we could whole-heartedly recommend Mas Gelamà to people looking for an authentic experience in rural Catalunya.
Firstly, the villa is not at ground level, so there are rather steep stairs to access it. Secondly, there is a lovely, clean, gentle dog that lives at Mas Gelamà, and she does come by to visit from time to time. And finally, and rather more importantly, there are trains that run directly beside the gite/villa. They are not visible and they are very brief/short. And they do not run through the night. However, they could bother those who go to bed early or those who are late risers.
There you have it. We felt we got incredibly good value for our money and memories that will last a lifetime.

9. Santuari de Sant Onofre
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By vawinelady - Virginia
This is a moderately difficult hike from the Terranova Restaurant in Palau-Salverdera up to a small church started in the 1300's. It's a little steep and rocky in places, but the view at the top is a wonderful payoff. Parts of the path are shaded and there is non potable water at the top. The path goes in a continuous circle, according to the maps, but we did and up and back so I can't comment on the side of the loop west of Font de Sant Onofre. I'm not sure when/if the church is ever open. It was closed when we arrived. On Google Maps the path is marked as Carrer Font Mallola. I didn't check my watch, but we took our time and I'd guess we took a little under an hour each way. Bring water and enjoy!
10. Cala Bramant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
Reviewed By Miguel C - Barcelona, Spain
Ubicada en el extremo norte de la poblacion, a tres minutos caminando desde la Cala de Cap Ras, su acceso es poco complicado ya que hay que bajar por una pared casi practicamente vertical, pero no imposible de hacer. Su espacio arenoso para poder estar sentado o tumbado es muy limitado Gracias a la peculiar forma de la cala. Es una de las calas mas bonitas que he visto en toda la Costa Brava, aunque su belleza debe poder observarse mejor desde el mar donde su forma se debe apreciar en su total magnitud. Muy recomendable incluso aunque no bajeis hasta la misma agua.
