These are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"\">The <strong>castle of Montgr\u00ed<\/strong> was never finished, but it is a beautiful walk up the mountain, and once you are on top, you will be rewarded with <strong>breathtaking views<\/strong> over the coast from l&#8217;Estartit to Pals, and the inlands.<\/span> Magnificent!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmomaspinell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/montgri-castle.jpeg\" alt=\"Costa Brava cultural heritage - Castle of Montgr\u00ed\" width=\"932\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmomaspinell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/montgri-castle.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.inmomaspinell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/montgri-castle-768x384.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 932px) 100vw, 932px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\">In <strong>Figueres<\/strong> there is a <strong>huge fortress on the hill<\/strong>, just outside the center of the city. It does not look that big from the outside, but you change your mind once you walk in. <span class=\"\">You can walk through the outbuildings, but the most interesting part is actually under the castle, where there are canals that you can visit and where they explain how the soldiers lived in time of siege.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\">In <strong>Ullastret<\/strong> is the <strong>largest Iberian settlement in Catalonia<\/strong>. And they have yet to uncover more secrets. Just last year they did new findings in the area. You can visit the excavation site and see the <\/span><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\">remains of houses, reservoirs, silos, temples&#8230;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\"><strong>Besal\u00fa<\/strong> is a beautiful <strong>medieval village<\/strong> towards Olot. There is a good road from Girona, so you can get here in about 20 minutes. Besal\u00fa is a lot different from the coastal towns. It is nestled between the hills of the pre-Pyrenees, and has beautiful old houses and a gorgeous bridge. There is a tourist train that does different routes, but you can also choose to walk around yourself. At the end of August there are medieval village festivals where you can immerse yourself in the Middle Ages.<\/span><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmomaspinell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/besalu-1.jpg\" alt=\"Costa Brava cultural heritage - Besal\u00fa\" width=\"916\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmomaspinell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/besalu-1.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.inmomaspinell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/besalu-1-768x435.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Would you like to visit the Costa Brava during your vacation?
