Make the hike up to Montgrí Castle. The hike up will take around 1–2 hours. The most common route on the town side of the mountain is the faster in terms sheer distance. The less common route on the back site of the mountain is an easier walk. It is definitely a workout with a rise from 0 to 300m above sea level in short time and strong athletic shoes or hiking boots are recommended. It's also recommended to take care on the town side trail as while the path is marked, it is easy to get lost at points and the mountain is very sheer and dangerous in spots. Also bring plenty of water as there are no facilities along the way.
The Montgrí Castle is a historical edifice in Torroella de Montgrí, Catalonia, Spain, built between 1294 and 1301. Its reason to be was the existing conflict between the counts of Empúries - who ruled over most of the area around the town - and the counts of Barcelona, the most powerful of Catalonia at that time, who also had great power over the Mediterranean.
