What can I do in Vilajuïga and its holiday cottages?
Megalithic constructions, a medieval castle and a brutal wine tourism offer. This is what you will find in Vilajuïga, a small town located in the interior of Alt Empordà, near Peralada and Castelló d'Empúries. A town, moreover, located in a unique natural environment: in the middle of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà and Cap de Creus natural parks.
The history of Vilajuïga and its surroundings
Although there is evidence of an Iberian and Roman presence, Vilajuïga is mentioned for the first time in several documents from the 10th century. It is also known that it belonged to the County of Empúries and was owned by the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries the population increased considerably due to the revival of the Catalan countryside. It shows some of the houses and farmhouses that we find scattered around the municipality, such as the Mas de Montperdut or the Mas d'en Satlle. Oil and wine were mainly harvested in its fields, which were exported to Switzerland and Germany. Vilajuïga, in addition, has been and is known historically for having unique mineral waters, which spring from the Verdera mountain.
What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Vilajuïga?
Visit the megalithic buildings and the church of Sant Feliu
If what you like is cultural tourism and history, you cannot miss the Megalithic Route, an itinerary through the megalithic complex of Coma d'Infern - which dates between the 4th and 2nd millennium BC - where we find several dolmens, such as the Carena, the Talaia or the Vinya del Rei, among others. Another must-see is the Romanesque church of Sant Feliu de Vilajuïga, which was converted into a neoclassical temple during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Walk to the castle of Quermançó
If you want to continue visiting historical monuments, it is highly recommended to approach the ruins of the medieval castle of Quermançó, located on top of a hill. Don't forget your camera, because the views are spectacular. It is a castle that was built in the 10th century and subsequently renovated and expanded. Although it had been abandoned for centuries, during the Spanish Civil War it was a point of republican resistance.
Wine tourism in Vilajuïga and the Wine Route
One of the most interesting routes in Vilajuïga, especially for wine lovers, is the Wine Route. A tour of vineyards and wineries such as Celler Espelt, Celler Gelamà and, finally, Celler Cooperatiu Empordàlia, where you can also buy Oli de Pau.

Very well located and very clean
House very well located, very clean. The bedding is really great. Despite the heat, the inside of the house remained cool. Pleasant exterior. We just need a little more dishes available but that's just a detail.

Great stay, great location, just great
We had a great stay and Marta is a very nice and helpful person! It's definitely value for money. Of course, there are some things that could be maintained better in the house but no deal breakers at all. Everything was there to have a relaxed stay. Would recommend going there!

The house a 10. The only problem is the flies...
The house is wonderful. We have had a great stay and the facilities cannot be faulted. We have really enjoyed both the house and the garden and pool. But we have all agreed on the amount of flies that were in the house. The kitchen was plagued, but also the dining room and even the bedrooms. It was not logical, since there were so many. I imagine it must have been due to the fertilizer that they must have been using for the fields... or the cause cannot be determined. But the reality is that it is a pity that such a wonderful house is overshadowed by this issue. Otherwise I can only say positive things. And the owner is also a charm. If that issue could be resolved, this house would be unbeatable.
Naturaki respond: Thank you very much, Montserrat, for your opinion. We are very happy to know that you liked the house and its facilities. Regarding the flies, having made a sudden change in weather from heat to rain, more flies have been noticed, but it is not usual. It can also be added to the fact that we are in a rural area, and being surrounded by fields and nature, there are more flies. Thanks for visiting and until next time!

STAY AT MAS GARRIGUELLA DEL CAMP
We had a great time and enjoyed the area we didn't know on the occasion of our 50th wedding anniversary with the company of our children and grandchildren. We hope to be able to repeat the experience again.
