L’Escala, is located in the south of the gulf of Roses, bordering the Baix Empordà region, at just two kilometres of the famous ruins of Empúries. Like other coastal towns, since ancient times its main activity has been fishing: the local anchovy is one of the most appreciated products of Catalan seafood gastronomy.
The municipality still preserves all the charm of the old quarter, contoured by a singular seafront path and beaches with personality such as Montgó, where the famous defence tower of the same name is located.
The ruins of Empúries are located in the north of Sant Martí. The excavations of the Greek city and the museum, which belongs to the Archeology Museum of Catalonia, can be seen. The vision of the whole complex, near the beach, is spectacular.
