10 pequeñas calas para disfrutar de la costa brava fuera de temporadaRECORREMOS LA COSTA DEL BAIX Y EL ALT EMPORDÀNo es extraño que los antiguos griegos desembarcaran en nuestra costa si desde el mar veían paraísos como este. Ellos lo hicieron por mar, nosotros lo haremos por tierra, y la caminata valdrá la pena porque, en el tramo final, se desplegará ante nosotros un oasis virgen de colores esmeralda y turquesa de belleza infinita. |

Girona represents two thousand years of history, four rivers, and a labyrinth of streets, squares, bridges, and monuments. Girona is highly observed, photographed, and alive. Girona makes you fall in love by day and dazzles at night. We recommend a tour of the city at night. |

Paratge de TudelaTHE SECOND AWAKENING
By Emma Aixalà
Photo Andrea Ferrés
It’s an inhospitable, wild, energetic, and inspiring place. Salvador Dalí himself captured shadows, shapes, and volumes here and presented them in some of his most iconic works. In the 1960s a tourist complex deformed the site and ripped its essence apart until, a few decades later, an environmental restoration project returned the purity that should never have been taken away... |

Wine routeDO EMPORDÀ CHARACTER
By Emma Aixalà

This... |

I'm truly fortunate to be able to call the Empordà my home and experience its magic and essence every day. I love strolling past and glancing at olive groves and vineyards that spread across the horizon or swimming in the coves of the Costa Brava and feeling the cool water of the sea. And the region’s typical dishes can’t be beat. I cherish discovering the history of th... |
CalongeTHE DELIGHTFUL SCENT OF BOOKS
By Jordi Basté
Photo Albert Bertran
At the end of 2021 Calonge surprised everyone by announcing the opening of seven bookstores at the same time. It was an unusual and rather courageous bet that has turned this town in the Baix Empordà into the first book town in Catalonia. A year and a half later, one store has closed, but the others remain well alive, boasting titles that fill the calendar with all kin... |
