Medes Islands from Begur with the Montgrí Castle in the background

Medes Islands and Montgrí Castle, iconic Costa Brava panorama

This image captures a panoramic view of the Medes Islands from the rugged coast near Begur, one of the most emblematic viewpoints on the Costa Brava, with the Montgrí Castle silhouetted on the distant ridge.

The Medes Islands, a protected marine reserve opposite L’Estartit, appear framed by the Mediterranean horizon, while the medieval fortress of Montgrí, built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, anchors the background and adds historical depth to the scene. By combining the marine landscape of the Medes Islands with the elevated presence of the Montgrí Castle, the photograph offers a powerful visual summary of the Empordà region, bringing together coastline, nature, and heritage in a single composition that is highly attractive for tourism‑related communication.

A balanced composition between sea, coastline and inland mountains

The composition balances the sea and the Medes Islands in the foreground with the relief of the inland mountains, where the Montgrí Castle stands out as a recognizable element, often outlined against the sky.

This perspective from Begur emphasizes the contrast between the rocky Costa Brava coastline, the open sea, and the distant massif of Montgrí, creating an image that works both as an evocative landscape and as a geographic reference to the area between Begur, Torroella de Montgrí and L’Estartit. The photograph is ideal for wide formats and high‑resolution reproductions, where the viewer can appreciate the layers of depth from the shore to the islands and finally to the Montgrí Castle in the background.
