Alt Empord\u00e0 has always been characterised as a frontier territory thanks to its location in the north of the Costa Brava, forming the border with France. As you explore the county you\u2019ll find that above all else it\u2019s a welcoming place to stay, be it for a short break or a long holiday. There are so many aspects that make it a worthwhile place to visit.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll discover a wide variety of protected landscapes: the Aiguamolls de l’Empord\u00e0 Natural Park, the Cap de Creus Natural Park, the Albera Natural Area and the Bassegoda area.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll get the chance to sample the sea and mountain gastronomy, fish suquet (stew), goose with turnips, Empord\u00e0 fritters, sweet botifarra (Catalan sausage) and anchovies from L’Escala, all accompanied by great Denomination of Origin Empord\u00e0 wines.<\/p>\n
And you\u2019re sure to be amazed by the legacy of an iconic artist from the area, namely Salvador Dal\u00ed, whose work is on display at the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum in Figueres and at the Salvador Dal\u00ed House-Museum in Portlligat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16853,"template":"","class_list":["post-15490","destino","type-destino","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgirona.itemvirtual.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destino\/15490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgirona.itemvirtual.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destino"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgirona.itemvirtual.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/destino"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgirona.itemvirtual.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgirona.itemvirtual.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
