Our natural environment
We are located in a Protected Natural Area, the Montgrí Natural Park, in the Medes Islands and the Baix Ter. Our school, and all the areas where we carry out our activities, coexist with this protected status.
It is a privilege for us to be able to practice and teach the sports we like most in contact with nature, but we must not forget respect and commitment to the environment.
The kitesurfing area is part of an environmental restoration project, the Life Pletera project. A natural beach with dunes and a great biodiversity of its own. The low intensity of urbanization is replaced by an access to the beach full of vegetation and protected species of fauna.
The Medes Islands have an immense biological value, both for their diversity and density of species. We find large populations of fish (grouper, sea bream, sea bass, etc.) and a great variety of bottom types (Posidonia Oceanica meadows and coral bottoms). We can also see, from out of the water, protected species of birds such as the Shaggy Cormorant, or birds of prey such as the Peregrine Falcon.
The Costa Litoral offers a spectacular landscape of limestone cliffs up to 100m high. Some of these plunge up to 50m into the sea. Along the coast there are magnificent caves, underwater caves, tunnels, coves, beaches and lakes. We recommend the Roca Foradada, a cave 60 m long and 6 m high. Also the natural populations of Aleppo pines and the bats that live in the caves that are not submerged.
To conclude, just to remind and raise awareness of the importance of our natural environment. We also advise you to follow the necessary behavioral guidelines in order to perpetuate the great natural value of our land and environment.
