Cruïlles, Peratallada, Monells, Pals, Ullastret and many other medieval villages, some very well-known and others much less visited, are located very near to Mas Masaller, as are the prettiest beaches of the Costa Brava (the coves of Begur, Platja de Pals, Calella de Palafrugell, Tamariu, Cala Salguer and many more).

For enthusiasts of industrial tourism, Mas Masaller lies 12 km from Palafrugell, the centre of the local cork industry, where you will find the Cork Museum (www.museudelsuro.cat) and just 2 km from La Bisbal d’Empordà, the capital of the Catalan pottery trade.

Mas Masaller is a good spot for visiting the ‘Salvador Dalí Triangle’: it is 10 km from Púbol (with its castle that was a gift from Dalí to his wife Gala), 30 km from Figueres, the home of the Dalí Museum, and 60 km from Cadaqués, where you can visit Dalí’s house (www.salvador-dali.org)

Lovers of bird-watching will be pleased to know that we are only 18 km from the Montgrí Hills and 40 km from the Empordà Marshes (and we can offer you a picnic breakfast).

And if you want to enjoy a day in the countryside, you have three Nature Parks to choose from: the Garrotxa Volcanic Area at 60 km, the Albera Hills at 45 km, and the Cap de Creus headland at 40 km – not to mention the Gavarres Hills just a stone’s throw from the house.

Who said tourism is just sun and sand? Apart from spending a relaxing day on the beach in one of the loveliest coves of the Costa Brava (Cala Castell, Cala Estreta, Illa Roja, Sa Riera, Sa Tuna …), you can also enjoy all the thrills offered by this coast: kayaking, water-skiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sea cruises, glass-bottom boats, boat hire, snorkelling or diving (http://www.baixemporda-costabrava.org/ca/turisme/18).
