The villages of Empordà, located on hills, surrounded by fields and full of nooks, life and history, preserve their medieval essence
Old buildings are stacked together on the flat landscape. The medieval villages are spread throughout the whole region of Empordà. The presence of textures, colours and that hidden something bears witness to the second life given to the region’s villages. Despite the passage of time, these places exude magic.
Girona and the Costa Brava are superbly surrounded by medieval remains
