Jardi Botanic de Cap Roig

This garden is well laid out and the map provided enables you to plan your route which is essential if the Festival is on and several routes are blocked due to the staging. There are steps so taking a stroller is tricky but possible. The cacti are impressive and the views equally so! It costs 8€ for adults and 3€ for pensioners. Children have free entry. Sunscreen and a hat are useful!

A small holiday resort and fishing village. Not comercialised like other Costa Brava resorts. There are no large hotels and mass turism. The town has some small hotels and few quality restaurants along with a lovely beach.

Far de Sant Sebastia

Reviewed By westcoastboy

This is an uphill walk to the lighthouse, starting off with the very many steps ! Then comes the steep road, think you are at the top, but discover another corner to go round ! It's not for the faint hearted, but very worthwhile once you get to the top. The views are stunning, such a wonderful coastline, see the clear waters from the rocky cliff tops as you gaze out to sea. So glad we made it, even though it was a bit challenging for us. There's a Japanese restaurant up here, Far Nomo, and also a Hotel, where we downed our needy thirst quenching drink !! Looked a lovely place and restaurant. Very worthwhile, but much easier coming down !
