L’Empordà evokes very diverse images and concepts. Contrasts are the distinctive feature of this land of passage: the calm of the interior and the summer bustle of the coast, the open beaches and sheltered coves, the mountains and the plains, work in the fields and industrialization in the cities, the culinary tradition and gastronomic innovation, the outburst of Dalí and the sanity of Pla… There is not, then, a single Empordà, but rather many. The virtue of the territory and its inhabitants is the balance of everything. Any visitor can find a corner that makes them experience the link with the history, landscape and people of an endless territory.
Framed between the Montgrí massif and the Sierra de Cadiretes – L’Ardenya, the Baix Empordà stretches out like a mosaic of fields, hills, forests and waterways that opens out into the Mediterranean. The diversity of the landscape and a mild climate -with permission from the north wind and other more discreet winds- have given rise to a region favorable to human settlement, where everything is within reach. Traveling the rural roads from town to town, admiring the steep relief of the Costa Brava and tasting the fruits that the land and the sea give us, we will verify that the Baix Empordà is a living territory, a heritage that evolves thanks to the collective effort of an entrepreneurial community. and creative, with character and personality, but very welcoming and generous with everyone who shares this appreciation for this corner of our country in Empordà.
