Destination for family holidays

Our municipality’s quality brand is Nature

Our municipality’s quality brand is Nature, whose ageless generosity can be seen in mountain, valley, river, orchards, wetlands, beaches, coves, dunes and islands. With the passing of time, the equilibrium between man and the land has become fragile, and we have had to provide the means to restore this precious balance. The newly created Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Nature Park is now making this possible.

Observe the vibrant life on the Baix Ter Plain, where the presence of migrating birds, agricultural croplands and fortified farmhouses bear witness to the natural and human legacy throughout the fascinating, tumultuous history of the area.

Our municipality boasts a rich and varied cultural life, with music as the most present of all the arts.
Art, music and heritage place Torroella de Montgrí and l’Estartit among the major cultural destinations of Catalonia.

 Traditionally, our villages and towns hold weekly markets. In the past these were very important, because they were the place where farmers exchanged their surplus produce and shopkeepers and craftsmen sold their wares. They were the major focal point of economic movement, because apart from everyday trade, people met to conduct business of greater scope: buying and selling livestock or land, sealing marriage agreements, and so on.

The weekly markets have now changed a great deal, but they are still an important popular event. The range of products on sale has expanded enormously, and now sellers from all over do the rounds of the weekly markets offering all kinds of goods: fruit and vegetables, clothing and footwear, household articles, etc., etc.

 Our villages also periodically organise fairs where the local craftspeople and producers exhibit and sell their goods. These fairs are a very interesting way of getting to know the local types of cheese, sausages, wine, honey, etc., or handmade pottery and leather articles, antiques, the work of local artists, and so on. Thematic fairs are also organised to publicise the products or arts and crafts of the region.

 “Productes de l’Empordà” brand

The “Productes de l’Empordà” (Empordà Products) brand was created as a result of the desire of the county councils of the Alt and Baix Empordà regions and a group of producers to personalise and recognise local Empordà products and to help to promote the commercialisation and sale of these products from the region.

The brand denoting quality was awarded in September 2003 and guarantees that all the products with the brand name are produced or prepared, transformed and packaged in the Empordà region, following local traditions. The producers also have to undertake periodical controls by a food laboratory to certify the quality of the different phases of the product.
