SURROUNDINGS AND LOCAL GASTRONOMY
A boat tour in the Venice of Spain
Do you love water sports? Then Empuriabrava is the perfect holiday destination for you. This seaside resort on the Costa Brava is distinguished by its numerous canals. It's no coincidence that it's nicknamed the Venice of Spain. In this famous marina, we recommend renting a boat to cruise along them. The view of the magnificent villas, luxurious castles, and palm trees is unforgettable. During your holiday with us in Empuriabrava, you'll stay right next to the sandy beach. It's wonderful to lounge in the sun. The azure waters of the Mediterranean also invite you to go snorkeling or sailing in the Bay of Roses.
An active day in the Cap Norfeu nature park
There's no shortage of activities on land during a stay in Empuriabrava either. No fewer than three natural parks extend near the seaside resort. The Cap Norfeu Park is particularly impressive. Idyllic bays with pristine beaches, green hills, and steep cliffs characterize the landscape. Mountain biking on the steep sandy trails, paddleboarding along the bays, and hiking along the wild coastline are popular at Cap Norfeu. The view of the Mediterranean guarantees some splendid holiday photos.
