Empuriabrava Beach

Highlight • Beach

Wide sandy beach with a children's playground, volleyball nets and restaurants on a promenade by the sea. The bad thing is that after seeing San Comas beach just before this it's like comparing white with black. Also very touristy and with huge hotels that if I was afraid they would be torn down.

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.

Views of the Empuriabrava canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Empuriabrava is an urbanization that constitutes a population entity in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries, in the region of Alt Empordà, with 6813 census inhabitants (2018).

The urbanization is a residential marina built next to Els Graells beach and around an extensive network of artificial channels in the image of those existing on the coast of France (Port-Grimaud) and Florida (United States), a model inspired by Venice, and which repeats what had been developed in neighboring Santa Margarida (Roses) since 1960. It is currently considered the largest residential marina in the world.

Scenic Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A great gravel cycling path between Castello d’Empuries and Empuria Brava. Perfect to avoid all the main roads. Can be very busy during high season with other cyclists and runners

Medieval bridge that crosses the river Muga as it passes through Castelló d'Empúries. It dates from the 13th century, its structure is in the Gothic style, and it is 130 meters long, saved by seven arcades.
