The mouth is difficult to cross with luggage or a bicycle.

The river mouth cannot be crossed by bicycle, at least not with an e-bike. There are several meters of water between them, making it impossible for me to carry my bike that far. The water is at least 50 cm deep, and the current is strong. It was too dangerous for me.

It served as a collective tomb, where burials and funeral rituals of the first agricultural and livestock communities of the region were carried out. It is a covered gallery dolmen, typical of the Neolithic period (approximately between 2700-2200 BC). It is made up of large stone slabs (orthostats) that delimit the burial chamber. Although it is currently in a state of partial deterioration, three of its main slabs are still preserved, which gives it the name of "Tres Caires" (Three Sides). The slabs are made of slate, a material abundant in the Gavarres area.

Or lift your bicycle and you can easily cross

Beautiful beach. The cycle path suggested by Komoot from L-Estartit to Playa de Pals via the mouth of the Rio Ter is rather difficult, as you have to carry the bike through the river. The water is 50-60 cm deep at the mouth, the bottom is sandy. Continuing south is also only possible after about 500 m, until then the bike has to be pushed through loose sand.

nice walk from the emporda campsite, but allow more time to tour the castle

The Montgrí massif culminates in the Montplà summit. Taking into account that the surrounding towns are at sea level, its 310 meters give it a 360 degree panoramic view. In addition, you can also see the archipelago of the Medas Islands.

This and other dolmens in the area are clear testimony to the importance of the Fitor megalithic area, dating from the late Neolithic to the Chalcolithic (2500 BC to 1800 BC). Specifically, the Tres Caires dolmen is made up of slate slabs arranged horizontally and vertically, and it preserves six of these slabs, including the roof. In addition to this dolmen, you can find within a radius of less than 500 meters the dolmens of Tres Peus and Serra de Calç or the dolmen of Las Maries.
