If you are looking for a campsite in Empuriabrava, you will surely already know that it is one of the best places from which to visit Costa Brava. Its location is perfect for visiting a good number of emblematic sites on the Catalan coast. But, in case you are still in doubt, here are 5 outstanding locations and their distance from our campsite in Castelló d’Empúries (Empuriabrava).
1. The Venice of the Costa Brava
Empuriabrava itself is known by the nickname “Venice of the Costa Brava”. Being compared to a place as beautiful and recognized as Venice is, at least, a privilege. Camping Mas Nou is located in Castelló d’Empúries, a municipality to which Empuriabrava belongs and, therefore, without moving (only 5 minutes away) you already have one of the essentials in the area.
2. Roses and Cap de Creus
Cap de Creus and its lighthouse are known for being the easternmost point in all of Catalonia and the Iberian Peninsula. The entire area of Roses, Cadaqués, and Cap de Creus Natural Park exudes a unique magic: a combination of landscapes, culture, and beaches that is difficult to match. From Empuriabrava to Roses there are only 15 minutes by car, and from there the door opens to the Cap de Creus Natural Park area. You can not miss this!
3. Girona
We move a little away from the coast to visit the capital of the province. Girona is known for its cathedral, for the Jewish quarter and the old quarter, for the bridges that cross it (this time recalling Florence) and for its wide gastronomic and cultural offer. From Empuriabrava it can be reached by an easy motorway journey of less than an hour.
4. Medes Islands
Medes Islands are another must, especially for lovers of snorkeling and diving. That is why they are one of the best-known dive sites in all of Europe: the marine ecosystem that can be admired is magnificent. In addition, it is located next to Torroella de Montgrí and L’Estartit, two towns that are also worth visiting. Torroella de Montgrí is located just 40 minutes away from Empuriabrava.
5. Aiguamolls de l’Empordà National Park
Paradise for lovers of nature and routes on foot or by bike. On its official website you will find a lot of itineraries to discover this protected area, as well as a calendar with scheduled activities. And the best of all? It is only 10 minutes afar from Empuriabrava!
