Parallel to the sea kayak activities, the symposium will offer activities that will let you know the cultural and natural level of the surroundings to the participants and the companions.
Some of the places that you could visit are:
The Sant Pere de Rodes monastery
This monastery has been considerate as a typical example of Romanic construction in Catalonia. Its origin dates back to the first century after Christ. According to the legend, a group of Christians from Rome sank in the bay and promised the construction of this monastery as an offer to God. Christian doctrine understands Sant Pere de Rodas as one of its most significant monastery. The first official mention to the monastery dates back to year 878.
Nowadays, the monastery still dominates the bay of Llançà and Port de la Selva. During a large period its power extended from Barcelona to Roselló, now a part of France. During the XX century expensive restoration works has been done, which haven't satisfied everybody since some people think that it has modernized too much.
Natural Park of Empordas' bogs.
This natural park is divided in two areas that include three zones of Natural Reserve. The two areas are situated at the north and south of the Muga and we can say that they are separated by the urbanization of Empuriabrava.
El polígono 1 discurre al norte de la Muga, coincide prácticamente el lecho del antiguo lago de Castelló d'Empúries. Al norte limita con la marina de Santa Margarida y sigue hacia el interior, pasando más o menos por el camino viejo que unía Rosas con Pedret. Al oeste el límite es el camino rural de Pedret a Castelló. Los límites sur y este son la Mugueta, el Salins y el mar.
The second area is at the south of Muga, the place is protected between the river and the Sirvent going from the sea to 5 Km to the interior. More to the south, the protected place goes from the sea to the beginning of the town of Torroella de Fluvia following the Fluvia River.
The natural Park of el Cabo de Creus.
This is the first maritime-terrestrial natural park of Catalonia, situated at the north of Costa Brava. The eroded area, the cliffs, the islets, the capes and the creeks offer a unique natural beauty.
