Description
This charming property is located in the heart of an authentic and popular village near the most beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Roses. Here – only 4 kilometres away from the sea – you can enjoy peace and quiet all year round with Mediterranean temperatures.
In the village there is a small shop which provides you with the daily necessities and fresh fruit and vegetables of the region. In the bar on the square you can have a coffee and meet up with neighbours before picking up the post. In about 10 minutes you arrive at the wide sandy beach of the Gulf of Roses. The neighbouring village has a pharmacy, supermarket, many cosy restaurants and small shops and can be reached in 5 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bicycle. The station of the high-speed train (AVE) at Figueres is 15 minutes away by car. From here, you can reach the Catalan metropolis Barcelona in less than an hour or the provincial capital Girona in 10 minutes. In winter, the white peaks of the Pyrenees tempt you to ski on the horizon behind the village. The first ski area is only about 1.5 hours away and offers an alternative from beach life. Almost all year round the sea attracts sailing, kitesurfing or surfing. So, there’s always plenty of variety if you get bored at your own pool.
Torroella de Fluvià
The small village of Torroella de Fluvià impresses with contrasts: the charm of the centuries-old stone walls of Catalan Masias charms has led many to buy holiday homes or family residences. The charm of tradition – accentuated by stylish interior design – complemented by modern technical equipment.
Tradition and modernity is the motto. The great combination of old and new shows in many places.
One experiences a symphony of peace and joy. Relaxing at the pool or walking through the beautiful landscapes. The skin breathes, the body feels reborn.
From Torroellea de Fluvià, the beach of Sant Pere Pescador is only 10 minutes away! Plus point: the entire beach of Sant Pere Pescador is protected, there only some camping sites around. All construction is forbidden and it is considered a paradise by surfers and kite surfers alike. Those who live or enjoy their holidays in Torroella de Fluvià can choose freely between the hustle and bustle of the summer or the tranquillity of village life.
In the small village – just a few kilometers from the Bay of Roses – one is grounded. The scent of wild herbs is in the air. The river Fluvià –which gave the village its name- flows from the Pyrenees to the sea, through green meadows and fields.
The privileged already appreciated the idyllic spot already in the past, which is demonstrated by old mansions and a castle overlooking the sea.
In Torroella de Fluvià there is a little piece of paradise left. The farmers cultivate their fields. The old women meet daily in the small shop on the corner and on the village festival young and old, residents and guests, locals and international newcomers dance together to the beat of a live band in the square in front of the Ajuntament.
Every weekend, there is a flea market at the village square, where you can browse through the old stuff and sometimes discover a real gem or a whimsical decoration.
The village borders on the nature reserve Aiguamolls – the famous bird sanctuary at the mouth of Fluvià. The Natural Park Aiguamolls del Empordà is one of the most famous and beautiful wetlands in Catalonia. In Aiguamolls you can observe rare birds, follow the storks and herons in the sky your with eyes or simply stroll through nature until you land on deserted beaches to collect driftwood and seashells.
