What can I do in Capmany and its holiday cottages?

Between Figueres and La Jonquera, in the first foothills of the Sierra de l'Albera, we find the small town of Capmany. A town in the Alt Empordà that offers a lot of tourist possibilities: megalithic routes full of stories, wine tourism and nature.

The history of Capmany and its surroundings

The various megalithic monuments in the municipality already show human presence from 3300-2700 BC. It is not, however, until the 16th century that Capmany and its parish, that of Santa Àgata, appear in a document from the monastery of Vilabertran. As a curiosity: Although Capmany is the official toponym, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans has always defended the form Campmany, in accordance with the etymology and spelling of Catalan.
