Alt Emporda

The capital of Alt Empordá is Figueres, known world-wide for being the site of the Dalí Theatre Museum...

This region is situated at the Northeastern most corner of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Costa Brava begins, with small coastal towns like Portbou and Colera. The capital, Figueres, is known world-wide for being the site of the Dalí Theatre Museum, one of Spain's most frequently visited museums, which houses a great deal of the painter's works. From here, one can embark on a journey covering the life of Salvador Dalí, including a visit to the Púbol castle (in the Baix Empordà region) and to his home in Portlligat, in Cadaqués.

The Alt Empordà region also boasts natural areas of great environmental interest. The Aiguamolls de I'Empordà Natural Park, situated between the towns of Castelló d'Empúries, Empuriabrava (a residential area that provides a wide range of leisure offerings and where the Mediterranean's biggest residential marina is located) and Sant Pere Pescador, concentrates a large number of autochthonous flora and fauna species.

il fascino di queste zone situate nell'alta emporda trova ragione nel paesagio che coniuga la bellezza del mare al erde incredibile dell'internO ,ll'azzurro della costa al lento scorrere pigro dei torrenti e dei iccoli fiumi che scorrono nell'interno.é una spagna INUSUALE meno calda,meno arida,meno chiassosa ma più pigra,più godibile anche in piena estate.
