L'Escala is a sailing town with diversity in marine habitats ranging from sandy beaches formed by coastal dunes to rocky massifs and craggy coves. There are numerous historical resources: the Catalonia-Empúries Archaeology Museum , set among the ruins of a Greek city and a Roman city , the Anchovy and Salt Museum , the Alfolí de la Sal , and Sant Martí d'Empúries , preserved as a mediaeval village. Visitors will find many hints about our fishing traditions.
L'Escala is also well-known for its food, especially anchovy salting, preserved following ancestral methods, make a visit to one of the anchovy factories highly recommendable. We should also highlight attractive leisure events held throughout the year such as the Mediterranean Triumvirate and the Anchovy Festival , among others. Moreover, L'Escala also offers diving, cycling , and hiking routes , as well as sporting, nautical , and leisure activities.
These features make L'Escala an ideal place for staging incentive programmes , congresses and training courses or seminars in unique locations
