Is a cape of the Montgrí Massif. It is between Cala Ferriol and Golf de la Morisca practically halfway between l'Escala and l'Estartit. Its shape is curious, in plan it slightly resembles the head of a seahorse. Its maximum height is on the isthmus that connects it to the mainland (76.1 m) and descends to the curve that turns south/southeast that rises at its end to 51.3 m. The paths that lead to it come from Alt de la Pedrosa or from the forest track between l'Escala and l'Estartit before passing the summit of Puig Torró. The isthmus/summit coincides with the presence of a cave that today crosses it from north to south at sea level, Roca Foradada or simply la Foradada. A tumular necropolis of cinerary urns similar to others found in Aquitaine or Lleida, generally dated between the 7th or 6th centuries BC, was excavated at this point.
On the cliffs of Cap de la Barra, at an altitude of approximately 85 m, there is a viewpoint with a beautiful view of the Medes Islands, with views of Meda Gran and Medallot, as well as the El Molinet rock. You can see the port of L'Estartit and the castle of Montgrí. The path is rugged and can be dangerous when there is a lot of wind.

Fleet of four hard boats with O2, first aid, zodiac and RIB, diver lifts, a deck shower and WC. Note that they do operate a camp site but this isn't near to their dive operation, so unless you have your own transport, it's better to get something closer to the marina.
