The Torre de Montgó was built in 1598 on the orders of Philip I to protect the fishermen of L’Escala from pirates. That probably worked out wonderfully, because the tower is in excellent condition. From here you have an excellent view of L’Escala, Sant Martí d’Empúries and the Golfo de Rosas.

Great trip 👍
Good parking.
The sunrise is fantastic.

The town of Montgo is a walk away.
