Culture
Castelló d'Empúries · Figueres · L'Escala · Peralada · Sant Pere Pescador

If there were a ranking of points of cultural interest per square kilometer, the Costa Brava would surely occupy a very prominent place. Through this route you will go into paleolithic and neolithic sites, remains of Iberian populations, Greco-Roman ruins, exceptional medieval witnesses and much more.

Let's go!

map4 We follow the path through which, centuries ago, ancient cultures arrived, where we will discover remains of civilizations that populated the area, Greek houses and Roman temples in Ampurias and the vestiges of a territory that knew the Iberian, Roman, Visigoth and Carolingian cultures.
