Introduction

This is the charming village of Sobrestany which has more sights than it might seem. This small village is part of the immense municipality of Torroella de Montgrí, something which is surprising considering that it is more closely linked to Bellcaire and l’Escala. The name “Sobrestany” is itself very descriptive taking into account its location, where the plain of the old lake – estany – ends and the Montgrí Massif starts to rise.

However, if this small village is well-known for something, it is the old Parc Animal de Sobrestany, a zoo which was closed in 2008 as it did not comply with health requirements.
