The natural and cultural heritage of the Empordà is so extensive that you should stay with us some days and discover everything.
This week we invite you to try some of our wealth, our treasure. Through the EmpordàNA’T space, located inside the Eco-Museu Farinera building of Castelló d’Empúries. We offer you a tasting of the four large protected areas of the Empordà, a walk to be seduced by our natural and cultural heritage. Intangible, and discover how to enjoy it. If taking advantage of the holiday on Wednesday, you have a few days off, you could walk through the four spaces. If you only have the weekend, you can start with a tasting. Make Roses to your center of operations from where you visit the wealth of Empordà.
The Empordà is an extraordinary territory in terms of natural heritage because here are four cataloged natural spaces that are of great interest for their biodiversity and geology. A unique natural place where the footprint of man has left an extraordinary cultural heritage.
Montgrí and Medes:
Perched between the Montgrí massif, the Medes islands and the Ter river, the natural park offers a rich mosaic of nature, with the presence of Mediterranean environments as characteristic of our land as pinewoods and meadows, as well as dunes, rice fields, lagoons, cliffs and a seabed of exceptional beauty.

La Albera:
The mountain range of the Albera constitutes the eastern end of the Pyrenees. We find two distinct areas: The western one (Requesens, Baussitges), with Central European vegetation, with beeches and oak trees, and the eastern one (surroundings of the monastery of Sant Quirze de Colera), with Mediterranean condition, corns and weeds. The only natural Mediterranean turtle population on the Iberian Peninsula habits there.

Els Aiguamolls de l’Empordà:
Behind the sandy coastline of the perfect bay of Roses there is a mosaic of environments that are the result of the procession of the sea with the rivers Muga and Fluvià in their origins and of the secular transformation of man. Nowadays, ponds, fences, irrigation, streams, rivers, coves, dunes and the same bay are the set of environments, brimming with a wide biodiversity, that make up the rich Natural Park of the Aiguamolls.
