kalcoatl visited on 21st May 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 4 Well-signposted by road from before the entrance to the Montbarbat urbanization. Park at water deposit car park and 0.5km walk up to the Poblat (village/settlement).
Some remains en route before you reach the hilltop where a large community clearly once lived. Many dwellings down to ground level but with some walls up to 1m or so. Plenty to explore.
Not exploited by the local town hall, and sadly no attempts at preservation or protection, with one exception: a large rusty sign telling you not to spoil the site. Ambience only spoilt by that and a fenced-in watchtower-style radio antenna on the Maçanet side of a concrete post marking the border with Lloret de Mar, where most of the settlement remains lie.
Splendid views from the coast at Lloret de Mar, Blanes and Malgrat de Mar right along the N-II corridor via Maçanet & Girona, taking in many hills and towers, and modern towns either side. It was a bit hard to tell on a hazy day, but the views probably extend to the Pyrenees.
