Just a very short drive from Can Massanet lies one of the Costa Brava’s best-kept secrets: the Gavarres Massif (Les Gavarres). This low mountain range, stretching between Girona and the coastal town of Palamós, offers a quiet, green escape where nature, history, and tradition go hand in hand. Les Gavarres are not exactly densely populated. In fact, the entire area contains just three small villages with a permanent population — Sant Mateu de Montnegre de Quart, Sant Pol de la Bisbal, and Romanyà de la Selva — plus around fifty scattered, inhabited masias (traditional Catalan farmhouses). This limited human presence is part of what makes the Gavarres so special: it’s a place where time slows down, and the landscape takes center stage. Romanyà de la Selva is only about 10 minute drive from Can Massanet, Llagostera. The massif is blanketed in deep forests of cork oak, some of the finest in all of Catalonia. For centuries, this hardy tree has shaped the local economy and landscape. But the
