Live a unique and unforgettable experience in Empuriabrava

Empuriabrava is the fishing village of the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries. Located in the Catalan region of Alt Empordà, in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and only 30 kilometers from the border with France, it is the most important population center of the municipality, since 7,000 of the 11,000 inhabitants reside in this unique and beautiful town on the Costa Brava .        

Also known as Modern Catalan Venice or Miami of Europe, it started to be built in 1967, following urban models inspired by similar projects that emerged in the US state of Florida. This exclusive housing estate consists of elements that make it unique. It has approximately 24 kilometers of navigable canals and 5,000 moorings for private boats, including 700 for boats up to 26 meters long.          

Most of the piers have direct access to the private residences of residents or visitors, making it the largest residential marina in Europe. It is perhaps the most protected port on the Mediterranean coast and is a dream location for lovers of the sea and water sports besides being an important international tourist destination.        

In Empuriabrava, numerous whitewashed houses and buildings strategically located along the waterways reveal the influence of Mediterranean architecture. Modern residential apartment complexes and high-end single-family homes give it an unparalleled identity throughout Spain.     

The dream of living in front of the sea

The best way to see and admire the residences is to rent a boat and stroll along its canals. Several companies offer this service with a skipper on board and even those without a sailing license can also do so.   

Another of the main attractions of Empuriabrava are its beaches. With 7 kilometers of coastline, it has vast beaches of fine sand and shallow waters surrounded by a beautiful natural environment.

The three beaches, as well as the residential area of Empuriabrava, are situated in a privileged geographical location in the heart of the Empordà marshes (Aiguamolls del Empordà Natural Park). This area has incalculable natural value and is the second most important wetland in Catalonia after the Ebro Delta.
