Mas Ca la Coixa, also known as Mas Serrademont, is located in the municipality of 
Tortellà, in la Alta Garrotxa area, in Gerona province (Catalonia, Spain). If you don't 
know Spain at all, Catalonia lies North-East of the country, having the Pyrenees mountains 
as a natural border with France. Girona's position in Catalunya is also the North-Eastern,
having the Mediterranean Sea on the right. The Girona coastal area is known as the Costa Brava,
and has a special beauty: crystaline blue waters, sandy little beaches (known as calas),
pinetrees growing among rocks and giving shade to the bathers.... The north part of Girona
province is very mountainous (but has the lowest altitudes of all the Pyrenees) and full of 
charm. In the central part there are valleys and plains, and everywhere, the traces of History: 
medieval villages, Romanesque art, castles,.. 

And also different landscapes, some in protected areas: volcanos, marshes, islands, woods,..And our masía in Tortellà 
is in the heart of the province, allowing you to visit everything without driving too much, and having a real rest at home, watching the stars, listening to nature, far away from the noisy coastal places like the famous Lloret de mar.
As we assume that many visitors will be flying from their countries, and renting a car here in Spain, we offer you some useful information. 

The closest airport is Girona airport (50km from Tortellà), but unfortunately, most of the flights are charter flights from April to October, coming mainly from United Kingdom, Germany and Holland. If you are coming from one of these countries, it could be suitable for you, but the frequency is a bit limited.Ask your travel agency and good luck!! Car rental is available in the airport, but it is better to book before, especially during the summertime.

The other possibility is Barcelona airport(150km from Tortellà via the A-7 motorway).Here you don't have any problem: there are regular flights from any European country, and from other continents, the usual destination is Madrid, which has at least 4 connections an hour with Barcelona.All the main rental car companies have offices in the airport, but note that possibly you can get better offers for a week's rental booking in your own country, rather than from here. 

Now we give you the indications to drive to Tortellà, depending on whether you come from north, south or west of Girona province. 
 

FROM THE SOUTH (BARCELONA OR GIRONA) 
You take A-7 motorway, and after passing Girona city, you leave the motorway by exit number 6, indicated as "Banyoles, Olot, Ripoll". You take the C-150 road , Banyoles-Olot direction.You pass through the medieval village of Besalú with 

its Romanesque bridge,and 5 km later in Argelaguer,you turn right to Tortellà.When you reach Tortellà, you don't have to enter the village, the road bends left(Tortellà village is always on the left) untill you find a sign-post on the right saying "Mas la Coixa". You take this narrow asphalt road for 1.3 km until you get to the house, where the asphalt ends. There is a placard with the name of the house, and a bell to ring, if you don't see anybody. 
 

FROM THE NORTH AND EAST ( FRANCE, LA JONQUERA, FIGUERES)

If you come from the A-7 motorway, leave it by exit number 4, indicated as "Figueres". You have to follow the signs to reach the N-260 direction Besalú-Olot, (it can be a bit complicated because Figueres is an important crossroads (roads going to Roses, Escala and Llança on the coast) which is the old N-II from La Jonquera to Girona, going north/south. Westbound there are the Albanyà and the Besalú roads, both needing to be taken from inside Figueres, near the central park).You follow the N-260 to Besalú, where you turn right in the direction of Olot, until you reach Argelaguer. There you turn right to Tortellà and follow as indicated above. 
 

FROM THE WEST ( VIC, RIPOLL, OLOT) 

Coming from Olot, you take the N-260 in direction Besalú. After passing the impressive village of Castellfollit de la Roca  hanging over the Fluvià river, you turn left in direction Montagut. Once in Montagut, don't enter the village, but go straight ahead, and by the school building you will see the signpost saying Tortellà. The bending road descends, crosses the Llierca river and climbs again up to Tortellà.The first entrance to the village is on the right, but don't take it. Continue straight ahead 
about 250 metres, and turn left following the "Mas la Coixa" and "El taller de alquimia" signs. Follow this narrow asphalt road for 1.3 km until you reach the house, with its placard and the bell to ring if there is nobody in sight.
