Wide sandy beach with a children's playground, volleyball nets and restaurants on a promenade by the sea. The bad thing is that after seeing San Comas beach just before this it's like comparing white with black. Also very touristy and with huge hotels that if I was afraid they would be torn down.

Mouth of the Muga River at Empuriabrava

Highlight • River

The Muga River is a natural jewel that winds its way through the region of l'Alt Empordà, offering varied landscapes and rich biodiversity. Born in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Muga River flows for approximately 58 kilometers before reaching its final destination in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically in the urbanization of Empuriabrava, in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries.

The mouth of the Muga River in Empuriabrava is a spectacle in itself. Empuriabrava is known as the "Venice of the Mediterranean" due to its extensive network of navigable canals, and the point where the river meets the sea becomes a meeting point of fresh and salt waters. This area is particularly popular among water sports enthusiasts, such as sailing and kitesurfing, thanks to the favorable wind and water conditions.

Furthermore, the mouth of the Muga and its surroundings are part of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, one of the most important wetlands in Catalonia. This park is a vital refuge for numerous species of migratory birds and a spectacular display of the region's natural beauty.

A great gravel cycling path between Castello d’Empuries and Empuria Brava. Perfect to avoid all the main roads. Can be very busy during high season with other cyclists and runners
