Travesía a nado Cala Montgó 2026

About the race

The Travesía a nado Cala Montgó 2026 is far more than a simple open water competition; it is a gateway to one of the most stunning maritime landscapes on the Costa Brava. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Montgrí massif, this race invites swimmers to immerse themselves in a protected natural environment defined by crystalline waters and towering limestone cliffs. What sets this event apart is its unique character: it is the only crossing in the region that dares participants to swim through the heart of an actual cliff formation, navigating a spectacular vault that rises over 20 meters high. Beyond the geological marvels, the event carries a touch of history, as the longer 5000m route takes athletes over the visible remnants of the *Cotentin* A-701, a military vessel that famously met its end in these waters in 1963.

Organized by the esteemed SwimNoLimits team, this event is designed to be inclusive and high-spirited. Whether you are an elite athlete seeking to test your endurance or a family looking to share the joy of the sea, the event caters to all. With multiple distances available, the race is perfectly complemented by dedicated kids' events, ensuring that the next generation of swimmers can experience the thrill of the open water in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Furthermore, the race maintains a strong social heart, featuring relay options that invite teams to swim for a cause, fostering a deep sense of community spirit.
