Les Gavarres or Massís de les Gavarres is a

mountain massif in Catalonia, Spain. It is part of the Catalan Coastal Range. The highest point is Puig d'Arques, 532 m. Other important summits are Mare de Déu dels Àngels (485 m) and Santa Pellaia

Geography

The mountains run broadly north-west, south-east in the

Castell-Platja d'Aro and Palamós. The range runs as far west as Girona. There are a number of villages in the mountains including Romanyà de la Selva and Santa Pellaia. The mountains also include the hermitage of Mare de Déu dels Àngels where there are views of both the Sea and Pyrenees

The ranges of the Gavarres are generally formed from

cork oak, holm oak, pine and other vegetation. Much of the Gavarres is a nature reserve.^[1]
