What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in El Far d'Empordà

Stroll around and learn about its heritage

If you are staying in a holiday cottage in El Far d'Empordà, note these must-sees: First of all, it is highly recommended to take the route of the Manol river as it passes through the town, where we will find several mills, such as the Molí de la Torre, the Molí d'en Grau or the Molí del Pi , among others. You can also visit the Faro lake or follow the Rec del Molí, where several farmhouses are located. If you want to walk around the town, don't miss the fortified Romanesque church of Sant Martí , built during the 12th and 13th centuries. The church was probably part of the old castle, since during the Middle Ages the town was fortified due to its strategic location in the middle of the Empordà plain. Of that fortification, however, only the church remains.

Get to know the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà

They are the most important wetlands in Catalonia, after the Ebro delta. In the past, rice had been grown there, a practice that has been reintroduced in recent years, but the main attraction you will find there today is, above all, observing the more than 300 species of birds. The Aiguamolls de l'Empordà are located just over fifteen minutes from El Far d'Empordà, so you can take advantage of your break to visit this important Marjalan complex and take a few photographs.
