The Baix Empordà, the heart of the Costa Brava.

It is the central area of the Gerona Coast. This part of the region has local population with small towns with permanent residents throughout the year and mixed along with the foreigners attracted to the beauty of localities such as the Begur’s mountain area, located very close to Girona.


The Alt Empordà, the proximity to France.

Next to the Baix Empordà it is the favorite zone of the French population that lives in Spain. The proximity to the French territory is a very important attraction.

The Costa Brava is synonymous for nature, a perfect combination between residential areas and the respect for the natural space.
