Terra de Trovadors Festival: history and culture in its purest state
September kicks off with one of the region's most outstanding cultural events: the
Terra de Trobadors Festival. This medieval celebration, which began in 1990 in the town of Castelló d'Empúries, aims to revive with historical accuracy the splendour of the era when this town was the capital of the county of Empúries.
The festival involves all the residents and associations of the municipality. For several days, the streets are filled with troubadour music, knightly combats, a lively medieval market, theatrical performances, lectures on medieval history and thematic exhibitions. Each year a different theme is addressed, guaranteeing surprise and learning in every edition.
If you are passionate about history or simply looking for a different cultural experience, the Terra de Trobadors is a must-see on your travel calendar.
Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park: wild nature just a stone's throw away
Very close to Empuriabrava lies the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, one of the most valuable wetlands in the Mediterranean. This protected area is a true paradise for nature lovers and birdwatching.
The park offers two main itineraries for visitors: the Cortalet route and the Villaüt route. Both trails allow you to discover a rich diversity of fauna and flora, with special attention to migratory birds that find here a place to rest and feed. In addition, the park has 15 observation points or "aguaits" perfectly situated for birdwatching without disturbing their environment.
You can also visit the CARFA (Centre for the Care and Reproduction of Native Fauna), where protected species are rehabilitated. An educational and fascinating visit for the whole family.
