Empuriabrava

Santa Margarida and Empuriabrava are two large residential marinas built in the 1960s with navigable canals and an aerodrome, which is known internationally as a centre for parachute jumping. These tourist facilities – on land, sea and air – are in sharp contrast to the peace and quiet of the nearby wetlands.

The Empordà Marshes Natural Park is a haven to over 300 species of migrating birds on their annual flights from Europe to Africa. It is a blend of natural and man-made landscapes: lagoons, pastureland enclosed by irrigation ditches and canals, and farmhouses.

The presence of storks, flamingos, ducks and other species makes it a must for any birdlover, but those who just like strolling through fine scenery will also enjoy it.
