Gavarres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les Gavarres is a mountain range in mid Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain.
The mountains run broadly north-west, South-East. The mountains meet the sea between Castell-Platja d'Aro and Palamós. The range runs as far as Girona. The highest peak is Puig d'Arques at 535 m. There are a number of villages in the mountains including Romanyà de la Selva and Santa Pellaia. The mountains also include the hermitage of Mare de Déu dels Àngels. There are views of both the Sea and Pyrenees. The mountains are generally formed from granite rock, an extension from the volcanic area arount Olot. The mountains are covered in a dense forest of cork oak, holm oak, pine and other vegetation. Most of the Gavarres is a nature reserve.
