Montgrí Massif

The Montgrí (Catalan pronunciation: [muŋˈɡɾi]) is a small mountain range in Catalonia, on the north bank of the Ter river.

It is part of the Catalan Coastal Range and its highest point is 311 m. The Montgrí Massif stretches from east to west north of the town of Torroella de Montgrí, sheltering it from the Tramontana northern wind.

It is a largely denuded karstic mountain, beaten by the persistent winds that blow in the region.

It has some dunes at its feet, on its northern side, which formed by windblown sand coming from the shores of distant Roses.
