The Muga River is a natural jewel that meanders through the Alt Empordà region, offering varied landscapes and rich biodiversity. Born in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Muga River travels approximately 58 kilometers before finding its final destination in the Mediterranean Sea, precisely in the urbanization of Empuriabrava, in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries.The mouth of the Muga River in Empuriabrava is a spectacle in itself. Empuriabrava is known as the "Venice of the Mediterranean" due to its extensive network of navigable canals, and the point where the river meets the sea becomes a meeting point of fresh and salt water. This area is especially popular with lovers of water sports, such as sailing and kitesurfing, thanks to the favorable wind and water conditions.Furthermore, the mouth of the Muga and its surroundings are part of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, one of the most important wetland areas in Catalonia. This park is a vital refuge for numerous species of migratory birds and a spectacular display of the natural beauty of the region.
