The Estunes area is an area of great natural value and this is revealed by its declaration as a geotope, an area of geological interest, and its inclusion in the PEIM.

It is one of the most particular corners of the municipality of Porqueres: the travertine cracks and crevices; oaks and spongy oaks; the beautiful legend of the Goges, the sharp silence and the cool shade, the climbing ivy and the discreet songs of the birds invite you to a quiet walk full of the peace of the place.

The goges, alogas or women of water, according to the legends, had it as their favorite place and would revel there or row there all night.

They say that on calm nights someone can still hear their songs and, from afar, you can see the glow of their parties.
