Segway Tour through the Montgrí Natural Park in L'Escala

Context The Montgrí Natural Park, located along the Costa Brava near L'Escala, is a protected area blending Mediterranean pine forests with expansive rice fields. Its terrain rises only 50 meters over 10 kilometers, creating a gently undulating landscape ideal for low-impact outdoor activities. This tranquil, rural setting offers a peaceful escape with minimal traffic, making it a great choice for nature-focused, low-difficulty excursions.

The Experience The tour begins with a 15-minute beginner’s training session to safely operate the Segway—an electric personal transporter that glides smoothly over compacted earth paths. You’ll glide along rural trails flanked by pine trees and vast rice paddies, breathing in the scent of wild thyme carried by the breeze, while birdsong fills the air. The route includes a stop in the medieval village of Sant Martí d'Empúries, where you’ll walk through cobbled streets and enjoy panoramic views of the nearby coastline.

For Whom This activity suits families with children over 7 years old, first-time Segway users, and small groups interested in nature and cultural heritage. It’s not recommended for those seeking high-adrenaline adventures or for people with limited mobility unless special adaptations are available.

Local Context L'Escala is renowned for its fishing traditions and local cuisine, especially its famous anchovies. The route connects with regional history through Sant Martí d'Empúries, a historic settlement with ancient Greek and Roman ruins.
