Colera is one of the quietest ports throughout the Costa Brava. In direct contact with nature, with little urban development, and few miles from both Cap de Creus and the French Red Coast (Côte Vermeille), this village has many devotees precisely because of its calm and familiar environment even in midsummer.

Lying as it does along the French frontier, Alt Empordà is a zone of transit. It has an open, creative personality, linked to a geographical phenomenon that gives it a distinctive identity: the north wind, or Tramuntana, which can attain up to 150 kph and was described by the writer Gabriel García Márquez as a “tenacious [wind] that contains the seeds of madness”. The wind is also responsible for the astonishing quality of the light.
