What can I do in Bàscara and its holiday cottages?

A town with a lot of history. This is Bàscara, a municipality in the Alt Empordà, nestled right on the border with the Baix Empordà, which includes the towns of Calabuig, les Roques and Orriols. An ideal town for lovers of cultural tourism and nature that also has one of the most popular living nativity scenes in the province of Girona.

The history of Bàscara and its surroundings

At least since the beginning of the 9th century, the town of Bàscara was the possession of the bishops of Girona. The first document in which it is mentioned is from the year 817, following a trial in which the boundaries of the Baschara villa were set. Its situation as a fortified town on the main road from Girona to France accentuated its strategic importance. In fact, in 1675, Bàscara was taken by the French, who established a base camp there for the siege of Girona. During the sieges of 1808 and 1809, French troops reoccupied the town until, at the end of the war, General Suchet blew up the fortifications.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Bàscara

Visit the historic site of the town

Bàscara, as we have explained, still preserves a walled part and an important old town. So, if you're staying in a holiday cottages in Bàscara, you can't miss the historic site of the town, with the walls and the remains of the episcopal castle or the church of Sant Iscle, declared Cultural Assets of National Interest. Another must-see are the remains of the priory of Sant Nicolau de Calabuig and the church of Sant Feliu de Calabuig. Without forgetting the castle-palace of Orriols, a building from the 16th-17th centuries with a Renaissance facade that is worth seeing.

Walk around Bàscara

If you like hiking and are lovers of active tourism, you're in luck. You can go on excursions in the vicinity of the Fluvià river and discover the natural springs and caves in the area. In addition, one of the two sections of the Way of St. James on its way through Catalonia, passes through Bàscara. The route has two variants that converge in Medinyà: you can go through Orriols, Viladasens and Cervià de Ter or through Vilademuls and Terradelles. Both options allow you to get to know small agricultural and livestock villages.

MonicaCan Costa - With the family

80th anniversary of the unbelievable granny!

This past weekend we were the whole family to surprise grandma on her 80th birthday!! Can Costa was the ideal place to spend the weekend. From the first moment we all felt at home and it's that the taste with which all the rooms, the air conditioning, the dining room terrace upstairs, the BBQ area kitchen as equipped as the dining room kitchen upstairs are decorated! With its own fridge each!! They have everything super well set up to make the stay as practical and comfortable as possible and they have achieved it! The mega screen in the lounge, with the mega-sofa made the video moment unforgettable and emotional for everyone!!! As a courtesy, you will find charcoal, kitchen paper (in both kitchens!) and recycling bags. And the swimming pool?! Both during the day and night, fantastic!!! And Albert, incredibly attentive!! From the first moment, facilitating arrival, stay and departure! Thank you, thank you and thank you for everything and to make us have a wonderful weekend for the whole family!! 100% recommendable.

KateLa Blauet - With the family

A large and beautiful house for a family holiday

Our family of ten stayed here for one week and we had a lovely time. The paella pan was very useful and the BBQ as well as we had lovely weather to cook outside. There is a great restaurant a short walk from the house.

XavierCa la Xana - With the family

The house is fine, but it lacks parking.

We would have liked to be able to park inside. Another point is that from the photos, the garden seemed bigger, since, with the pool being covered, it takes up a lot of space in the garden.

Naturaki respond: Thank you for leaving your opinion, Xavier. We are glad to know that you liked the house. On the web, we detail both in the equipment and services section and the plans that the house does not have parking, but there is a free parking area right in front. The size of the outdoor pool, 8x4 m, the garden of 450 m² and the terrace of 20 m², are also specified, so that the available space can be accurately assessed before booking. Thank you for the visit and for sharing your experience.

EmmaEl Paller de Can Fort - Couple

Disconnect of calm and tranquility!

A fantastic house for a couple's getaway. The surroundings are perfect for enjoying the calm, rest and the much sought-after silence. We loved being able to count on a grocery store, a bakery and a butcher in the same village, a very practical detail. We also want to highlight the impeccable pool and garden maintenance service, as well as 10 out of 10 for the speed in replacing the toaster with a new one. Without a doubt, we will repeat! As a suggestion, it would be ideal to add mosquito nets to the windows to be able to ventilate better and depend less on the air conditioning.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much, Emma, for your stay and for sharing your assessment. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the house and the surroundings. We take note of your suggestions to evaluate them. Thank you for the visit.

JoseCan Abella - With friends

Very nice stay with family and friends.

We had a fantastic week in this rural house with some friends. The location is very quiet, surrounded by nature, ideal for disconnecting. The house is large, spacious and has a pool and large spaces where the kids were able to run and play freely. As aspects to improve, we were surprised that we were not informed at the time of booking that the owners live wall to wall, and that the owner's son also resides in the lower part of the house. In addition, the wifi practically did not work inside the house, which combined with the lack of coverage made it very difficult to connect. In general, it is a very pleasant place to enjoy with family and children, although it would be advisable that these matters be explained in advance to better adjust the expectations of the guests.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much, Jose, for your review and feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the house and that you were able to spend a fantastic week with your friends. On our website, we mention that the owners, local farmers, live in a part of the property with an independent entrance, ensuring maximum privacy for guests. Regarding the Wi-Fi, since it is a village house, the connection may occasionally be unstable and, depending on the phone company, there may be limited coverage in some parts of the house. We appreciate your visit and look forward to welcoming you again on another occasion.
