Castelló d'Empúries

It is a town with a long medieval past, a key point in the past with its strategic fortress. The church of Santa Maria or "The Empordà Cathedral" is considered one of the most important monuments in the province of Girona.

The ¨Aiguamolls¨, or Empordà Marshes, represent one of the most important examples of marshland in the Mediterranean. Mainly located within the municipal area of Castelló d'Empúries, they form an outstanding area of coexistence between water, land, humans and nature. Their principal attraction in terms of wildlife is the nearly 350 species of birds, many of which are protected, and of which the majority nest there on regular basis. As for the flora, of great value in terms of biological interest but also in terms of landscape, this combines rice-fields and zones of pasture.

It is said that Empuriabrava is the little Venice of the Costa Brava. In this large residential marina (one of the biggest in the world), the locals make their way along a network of waterways rather than streets. Here you can enjoy beaches to suit everyone, gentle activities such as walks in the Empordà wetlands or adrenaline-fuelled ones such as kitesurfing or skydiving, not to mention the wonderful mediaeval architecture of Castelló d'Empúries.
