Located to the east of the province of Gerona, La Escala is a charming coastal town of approximately 10,400 inhabitants that forms part of the Alto Ampurdan region.

The term La Escala is composed of several population entities. Most of the population is concentrated in the town of La Escala, located on the coast, while the rest are scattered throughout the municipality and rarely exceed 300 inhabitants. According to the opinions of other travellers, if you want to enjoy the beach and have all kinds of services, it is best to rent a letting in La Escala near the beach. In this sense, Passeig Mar and Passeig del Petit Princep are the best options. However, if you are looking for tranquillity and total disconnection, there is nothing better than a rural house on the outskirts, where you can enjoy the scenery and breathe fresh air.

The scale has a number of beaches and coves that are ideal for bathing and have many services for you to enjoy a great family holiday. The closest to the old town is "La Plaja", but there is also the small cove of "Port d'en Perris". However, the largest are those of Riells, Moll Grec, Riuet, Cala Montgo and the beaches of Empuries (La Vaixella, Portitxol, les Muscleres).

Only 100 metres from the shore and less than 3 metres deep, bathers can dive and observe cuttlefish in the heart of the Costa Brava. A 30 meter underwater line with several islands formed by bundles of mastic branches where thousands of sepia eggs are laid in early summer and hatching over the weeks.

The Natural Park of the Medes Islands is a unique place on the Costa Brava that has a wonderful and rich sea bed that you can discover on a fun boat trip. In addition, weather permitting, bathing is possible.

A guided tour of the ruins of the Roman Emporiae from the 1st century A.D. by the hand of Iulia Domitia, the ancient inhabitant of the city. An activity that will allow you to know the history of the old Empuries and that is ideal for the whole family.

If you are lucky enough to try the anchovies from La Escala in one of the restaurants in the area, you will agree that there is nothing to envy Santoña or Laredo. Both canneries treat the anchovies caught in their waters with great care each season. The difference is that in the Gulf of Rosas there are boats of anchovies in brine so that each person can desalinate them and prepare them to their liking at home.
