Jerelis Says: Maybe it is all about that you must know what you want to see before setting out in this particular village. Before we visited L’Escala we had no information about it at all and we just started our hike on our feeling. For example we started at Lluis Albert where we could...
Hiking – Bit of a disappointment.
Jerelis Says: L’Escala is a small village situated on the Costa Brava. It is an important fishing port and has even a festival dedicated to the famous anchovies! Usually we always like to take time to meander and losing ourselves in the maze of alleys, streets and lanes at a nice village....
Jerelis Says: How we even ended up at L’Escala is maybe a bit of a weird story. We stayed during our summer holiday at Pals and at one day we decided to visit the ruins at Empúries, which is close by L’Escala. We definitely enjoyed the historical settings of Empúries and after that the...
Beach area – The town beaches.
Jerelis Says: The only downside to visiting the beaches is it gets busy at sometimes. But just arrive in time and you will find a parking place for the car and a good spot on the sandy beach anyway. We enjoyed ourselves very much by swimming, writing messages in the sand, have a homemade...
Beach area – San Marti D’Empúries.
Jerelis Says: Because we stayed at Pals for the summer holiday we were able to visit more than just one beach. In our first week we visited the amazing archeological site of Empúries and the adjoining beach, which is without doubt one of the most attractive beaches I have visited. From...
Beach area – Stunning coastline.
Jerelis Says: If you like to stay near stunning coastlines on your camping holidays, Spain is an excellent choice of destination. The country has three seaboards to choose from: the Mediterranean, the Cantabrian and the Atlantic, all with an exceptional climate and a coastline which...

Jerelis Says: The choice of restaurants in L'Escala are suited to all tastes covering traditional and European recipes in the menu's. Authentic Catalan, Tapas Bars, Fish Restaurants, Pizza's and Pasta's, Chinese and Mexican dishes. But, of course, there's nothing more synonymous with...
MAREBE STEAK & FISCHHOUSE PLAYA RIELLS NO 70: THE BEST FEELING (food & garçons!)
dani3 Says: restaurant Marebe, gelegen in Riells, Escala op de dijk, is het beste restaurant van heel Riells en Escala!Een uitstekende keuken; van visgerechten zoals gegrilde kabeljauw, zeewolf, hun zarzuela; de vleesgerechten, de pastagerechten..... Sinds 2006 ons favoriete restaurant...
Jerelis Says: Are you nervous about taking your baby or child on a plane trip? You aren't alone, most parents are nervous about it. We have moved with Iris and Sam Tarragona Corfu by plane this holiday and drove some distances by car on the island itself and we learned a few things that...
simem Says: We hired bikes from Nou Emporda bikes (on the main Av. de Gerona about 5 minutes walk from the central tourist office). The service was friendly and helpful, helmets were available, and the bikes were in good condition. http://bit.ly/iLck0cI'm really glad we rented bikes....
Jerelis Says: The four bars on the 'senyera', the Catalan flag, are said to represent the four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. The Senyera is a vexillological symbol that consists of four red stripes on a golden background. It historically represented the king of Crown...
Jerelis Says: I guess we all agree on this on; there is nothing more exciting than going travelling - exploring another country, experiencing a different culture, travelling around in new ways, sampling the local cuisine and chatting to the local people for a different perspective on...
Jerelis Says: For years, we have all been told of the importance of water. The general guideline has been to drink 2 liter of water each day. For a person who is not living an active lifestyle this may be enough, but if you are physically active, you need more water than that. That is...
Jerelis Says: Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the catchy title of the 1992 bestseller by John Gray, succinctly expresses an ancient dilemma. What--if anything--do men's and women's brains do differently?The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under...

Empúries – Only 25% has been excavated.
Jerelis Says: You can get an audio guided visit of Empúries, ask at the information point in the car park (where you'll buy your tickets). We didn’t and wanted explore it by our own on our own tempo. The things I liked the most were the water purification system, the erotic (phallic)...
Jerelis Says: To be honest, this is quite a difficult tip (place) to write about and not end up with a summary of important dates of its history only. But it is very important to realize that the ground you’re walking on was inhabited throughout the 7th century BC, quite something...
Empúries – Important archaeological site.
Jerelis Says: It is always great to actually visit a place where you read about on Virtual Tourist at first. By the time I knew we were going to the northern part of Spain for our summer holiday I did some research about the region at Virtual Tourist and saw numerous tips about Empúries....
Snorkeling – Unexpectedly colorful.
Jerelis Says: I can easily state that everything was taken care of perfectly by the organization. They launched a trampoline (for the kids) into the water and gave us perfect instructions how the handle the equipment en telling us about all the possible dangers and the no go areas. It's...
Snorkeling – Unique in the Mediterranean.
Jerelis Says: So, off we went for our drive from Pals to L’Estartit and 25 minutes we arrived at this huge (free) parking lot at the Passeig Maritim. A 15 minute walk along the sea side brought us to the small office of the snorkeling company. They gave us 5 snorkels and the ticket to go...

L'Escala is my second town. It's located in the most touristic area of the Catalan shore: the Costa Brava, between l'Estartit and Sant Pere Pescador (at the southern end of the Golf of Roses). L'...
