Situated in the heart of the Spanish Costa Brava, Empuriabrava is a large purpose-built coastal resort which forms part of the municipal district of Castelló d'Empúries in the province of Girona.

With around 5,000 moorings, Empuriabrava is one of the largest and most impressive residential marinas in the world. It has an extensive network of navigable canals which give unrestricted access to the sea, an enormous sandy beach and a good choice of shops, restaurants and bars. For the boating enthusiast, this truly is paradise.

Indeed, it is also an ideal location for all water sport devotees as well as being able to accommodate those who enjoy other outdoor activities such as cycling, golf and horse riding.

For the skydiving aficionado, a visit to Skydive Empuriabrava (i) is a must. Established in the 1980's, it has gained the reputation of being one of the leading skydiving centres in the world and it is one of the major training venues for many skydiving teams.

The magnificent houses and apartments in Empuriabrava epitomise luxurious living, many of which have their own private mooring and an outdoor swimming pool. These impressive buildings, together with the spectacular moored boats and yachts, are best viewed from the water. Sightseeing tours are available, or you can rent a small boat and explore the waterways yourself.

Because it has been in existence for just over 40 years, the town is devoid of historical monuments and buildings. Nevertheless, Empuriabrava's ideal location allows its many visitors easy access to numerous nearby towns and villages with an abundance of sites of historical interest including the Gothic Basilica of Santa Maria and the interesting Museu Cúria-Presó in the neighbouring Castelló d'Empúries.

Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dali, houses the Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí and the 18th century military fortress Sant Ferran Castle. The beautiful town of Roses, just a 9km drive, is home to many historical sites: the 16th century Trinity Castle, the Citadel and Bufalaranya Castle. If you are interested in ancient history, the Ruins of Empúries, just half an hour's drive from Empuriabrava, is definitely the place to visit.
