The Festamar Apartments in Estartit are just 100 yards from Estartits golden beach. I know the Festamar well because they were the first place I stayed at in Spain. The Festamar, Estartit, and the Costa Brava, are all part of the reason I fell in love with Spain. Since then, my knowledge of the country has grown, and I have seen many, more beautiful places, but Estartit will always hold a special place in my heart.
Estartit was originally just one of many small fishing villages on the Costa Brava. However, that all changed in the 1960's and 70's with the arrival of the package holiday. Today, the harbour is filled with sightseeing boats and yachts, the fishermen and their boats have largely gone.
Modern day Estartit relies on the tourist trade for its economic survival and luckily it is a popular destination, especially among the British, French, and Germans. One of the main attractions of the resort for these holidaymakers is the 7 kilometres of: quiet, golden, sandy beach, that is washed by shallow clear seas. A long promenade follows the line of the beach from the south all the way to the harbour and Estartit town itself.
If you walk from the harbour up Santa Anna Street you will come to the heart of Estartit, the town square. The town square is where both the locals and the holidaymakers can be found, sitting at tree-shaded tables, enjoying a cold glass of wine or beer, while watching the world go by.
