STORIES

The transparent water

The Mediterranean that laps the shores of the Empordà is an open doorway to a fascinating universe.

From the hidden coves of Cap de Creus to the fine sandy beaches of Sant Pere Pescador, the water that caresses the Costa Brava is clear, fresh, and alive. All it takes is to approach the shore and let yourself be captivated by the magic of a seabed that reveals itself with surprising clarity.

Seeing everything this sea hides is a gift for the senses. When the sun reflects and creates dancing sparkles of light on the surface, when fish swim as if no one else existed in the world, time seems to stand still.

The transparency of the water is not just physical: it is an invitation to look within. This sea, as ancient as the wind that combs the pine trees along the coast, offers a regenerating swim. Beyond refreshing the body, the Mediterranean water awakens the senses, clears the mind, and roots you in the present. Immersing yourself in it feels like starting anew. It’s understanding that the purest beauty is often found in the simplest things: a reflection, a wave, or the stillness shared with nature.

There are many ways to enjoy the sea with all five senses. With the thrill of a seaside vermouth, unfolding the landscape like a moving painting. With the elegance of a sailing trip, listening to the silence of the open sea. Or by connecting with maritime tradition and the finest local cuisine on a menorquin boat trip.

Every corner of the Costa Brava holds a submerged secret. A rock that looks like a sculpture, a jellyfish floating like a dream, a gorgonian pulsing with the current. Observing it all slowly is a privilege.

Let yourself drift. Walk over the rocks. Breathe deeply. Feel the call of the water and enter as if returning home. And understand why this sea captures hearts. Because in the Empordà, transparency is not just a quality of the water. it’s a way of living and feeling.
