Holiday cottages in Cabanes

What can I do in Cabanes and its holiday cottages?

In the middle of the Empordà plain, between the Muga and Llobregat rivers, we find a small town called Cabanes, located near Figueres and Peralada. An ideal town for those looking for a quiet, rural getaway and who want to get to know the Empordà plain firsthand.

The history of Cabanes and its surroundings

Although it is believed that Cabanes had a Roman past, it is not until the year 885 that it appears documented, forming part of the county of Peralada. The name of Cabanas appears shortly after, in the year 935. Although over the centuries it will have different names such as Sant Vicenti de Cabanis, Cabannas, etc. Cabanes was part of the county of Peralada for many centuries. As a curiosity: In the past, the village was located where the current cemetery is, but the flood of 1421 caused the destruction of the village and the inhabitants moved to the current location.

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

Stroll through the town and enjoy its architectural heritage

Cabanes is full of must-sees: At the entrance, the Cabanes tower , the last vestige of the town's old medieval castle, which will allow us to know what the tribute towers of feudal castles were like since it is quite well preserved, and the parish church of Sant Vicenç de Cabanes , from the 18th century. In the same square, we find a small building from the 18th century, the chapel of Sant Sebasti . Nor can we miss the old monastery of Sant Feliu de Cadins, located on the outskirts of the town.

Enjoy the landscape of the Empordà plain

A plan that never fails: Go on foot or by bike through the different centers of the municipality or the corners between the Muga and the Llobregat d'Empordà, the town's two rivers. We can also travel the section of the Via Augusta as it passes through Cabanes, in the area of La Calçada, near the Gitano farmhouse i Dinamita .
