This climate makes it possible to play golf all year round. Golf Culture 56 Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture. In recent years, through the eyes of artists, especially the masterly Salvador Dalí, we have discovered a new vision of our surroundings, both cultural and scenic, portrayed in priceless creations. Today, the Dalí Triangle, consisting of the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the Gala Dalí Castle-Museum in Púbol and the Dalí HouseMuseum in Portlligat, allows us to take this almost metaphysical journey through a world of tormented nature and idyllic, unique settings. Apart from the Dalí spaces, there are over 55 museums and 550 historic buildings to admire. From the Middle Ages we have exceptional works of architecture like the monasteries of Sant Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture. Culture Speaking of culture in the Costa Brava and the Pirineu de Girona means going back to the dawn of civilisation. Starting our journey in the very earliest of times, we find megalithic monuments in the Albera and the Gavarres hills, prehistoric caves in Serinyà, the ancient Iberian settlement of Ullastret, and Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Modernist buildings in all of the itineraries. Our coast was visited and inhabited, especially for commercial purposes, by the Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans, who not only left their imprint here but built towns like Empúries, where today we can follow the footsteps of those ancient visitors. From the Middle Ages we have exceptional works of architecture like the monasteries of Sant Golf Cuisine 58 style cooking that is very closely linked to traditional roots. If we spoke in the previous section about culture that can be seen, our cui-sine might be viewed as a culture that can be experienced and enjoyed. Its high professional standards mean that behind every restaurant door you will find an excellent culinary experience, with first-class establishments on the international scale. Each restaurant offers an excellent dining experience. Cuisine Defining what is or isn’t culture is a virtually impossible task. The relationship between culture and cuisine is almost innate, to the point that Salvador Dalí once said, “Art will either be edible or it will not exist”. The cultural side that cuisine represents in our society is experiencing a veritable renaissance, with such notable innovators as Ferran Adrià, among others. Even so, our gastronomy is multiple and varied, and is based on an honest, home- Golf Directory 60 Golf course directory Golf Directory Par 3 and Pitch & Putt directory Club de Golf Camprodon CAMPRODON Tel. +34 972 130 125 · Fax +34 972 130 125 [email protected] www.golfcamprodon.es Fontanals Golf ALP Tel. +34 972 144 374 · Fax +34 972 890 856 [email protected] www.fontanalsgolf.com PGA Catalunya Resort CALDES DE MALAVELLA Tel. +34 972 472 577 · Fax +34 972 470 493 [email protected] www.pgacatalunya.com Club de Golf Costa Brava SANTA CRISTINA D’ARO Tel. +34 972 837 055 · Fax +34 972 837 272 [email protected] www.golfcostabrava.com Golf Girona SANT JULIÀ DE RAMIS Tel. +34 972 171 641 · Fax +34 972 171 682 [email protected] www.golfgirona.com Reial Club de Golf de Cerdanya PUIGCERDÀ Tel. +34 972 141 408 · Fax +34 972 141 040 [email protected] www.rcgcerdanya.com Club de Golf Peralada PERALADA Tel. +34 972 538 287 · Fax +34 972 538 236 [email protected] www.golfperalada.com Golf Platja de Pals PALS Tel. +34 972 667 739 · Fax +34 972 636 799 [email protected] www.golfplatjadepals.com Torremirona Golf Club NAVATA Tel. +34 972 553 737 · Fax +34 972 553 716 [email protected] www.torremirona.com Club Golf d’Aro-Mas Nou PLATJA D’ARO Tel. +34 972 826 900 · Fax +34 972 826 906 [email protected] www.golfdaro.com Golf Sant Marc (Executive Course) PUIGCERDÀ Tel. +34 972 883 411 · Fax +34 972 141 236 [email protected] www.golfsantmarc.es Empordà Golf Resort GUALTA Tel. +34 972 760 450 · Fax +34 972 757 100 [email protected] www.empordagolf.com Mas Pagès Golf (Golf and P&P) SANT ESTEVE DE GUIALBES Tel. +34 972 561 001 · Fax +34 972 561 045 [email protected] www.maspages.com Par 3 Gualta GUALTA Tel. +34 972 760 338 · Fax +34 972 758 798 [email protected] · www.gualta.com Mas Pagès Golf (P&P and Par 3) SANT ESTEVE DE GUIALBES Tel. +34 972 561 001 · Fax +34 972 561 045 [email protected] www.maspages.com Lloret Papalús Pitch & Putt LLORET DE MAR Tel. and fax +34 972 360 314 [email protected] www.pitchandputtlloret.com Pitch & Putt Castelló-Empuriabrava CASTELLÓ D’EMPÚRIES Tel. and fax +34 972 156 210 [email protected] www.castellopitchandputt.com Pitch & Putt Mas Nou PLATJA D’ARO Tel. +34 972 826 900 / +34 972 816 727 Fax +34 972 826 906 [email protected] www.golfdaro.com Pitch & Putt Fornells FORNELLS DE LA SELVA Tel. +34 972 476 672 · Fax +34 972 476 583 [email protected] www.pitchandputtfornells.cat Pitch & Putt Franciac CALDES DE MALAVELLA Tel. +34 972 471 028 · Fax +34 972 842 828 [email protected] www.golffranciac.com Pitch & Putt Peralada PERALADA Tel. +34 972 538 287 · Fax +34 972 538 236 [email protected] www.golfperalada.com Pitch & Putt Platja d’Aro PLATJA D’ARO (LES SUREDES) Tel. +34 972 819 820 · Fax +34 972 828 625 [email protected] Pitch & Putt Can Pascual ARBÚCIES Tel. and fax +34 972 162 060 [email protected] www.pitchandputtcanpascual.com 61 Golf Map 62 Girul Map 1 1 Reial Club de Golf de Cerdanya Golf Sant Marc La Molina-Masella 3 Fontanals Golf 4 Banyoles Lake 4 Club de Golf Camprodon Mediaeval towns of Pals and Peratallada 5 Club de Golf Peralada 2 6 Iberian Settlement of Ullastret 6 Torremirona Golf Club 7 Camprodon Valley 7 Mas Pagès Golf 8 Valley and Sanctuary of Núria 8 Golf Girona 9 Vila Vella or Old Town of Tossa de Mar 9 Empordà Golf Resort Botanical Gardens of La Selva Coast (Santa Clotilde, Pinya de Rosa and Marimurtra) 11 Old Town of Girona 10 11 12 Club Golf d’Aro-Mas Nou 13 Alta Garrotxa (Oix and Beget) 13 Club de Golf Costa Brava 14 Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park 15 Cap de Creus Natural Park 17 Santa Pau 14 P&P Peralada 18 Besalú 15 P&P Castelló-Empuriabrava Ruins of Empúries 16 Mas Pagès Golf (P&P and Par 3) Cadaqués 17 Par 3 Gualta Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park 18 P&P Fornells 22 Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park 19 Pitch & Putt Franciac 23 Dalí Triangle (Museums of Figueres, Portlligat and Púbol) 20 Pitch & Putt Mas Nou 24 Romanesque architecture Santa Maria de Ripoll, Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Sant Quirze de Colera, Santa Maria de Vilabertran, Sant Miquel de Cruïlles 21 P&P Platja d’Aro 22 Lloret Papalús Pitch & Putt 23 P&P Can Pascual «Surf and Turf» cuisine (throughout the region) Talló Baltarga Tartera Beders Montellà Olià Pi Coborriu Prats Riu de Urús Bor Nas Pedra Cerdanya CADÍ-MOIXERÓ NATURAL PARK E-9 Túnel del Cadí C-16 Núria Queixans Urtx Prullans Bellver de Isòvol Fontanals Cerdanya Alp N-260 de Cerdanya Santa Das Sansor Eugènia Maçanet de Cabrenys el Vilar d’Urtx Setcases 3 3 Masella Cantallops la Molina Tregurà de Dalt Queralbs 33 Planès Toses Nevà N-260 C-26 Campdevànol Historic Highway and Cattle Track Sant Joan de les Abadesses 24 24 el Ter N-153a RIPOLL 24 24 Sales de Llierca Montagut Tortellà N-260a Túnel de Collabós l’Hostalnou de Bianya Sant Joan les Fonts Castellfollit de la Roca C-17 N-260a Vallfogona de Ripollès Riudaura la Pinya 14 14 OLOT les Preses Puigpardines Joanetes Vidrà to Vic -
