MEDIEVAL EMPORDÀ
The splendour of an era in which Empúries was a county reaches us nearly intact today. It seems like the centuries haven’t changed in Pals, Peratallada, Monells, Vulpellac, Ullastret and Palau-sator where their stones preserve an unmistakable identity. We accompany the reader through the region in search of traces of the middle ages in cuisine, farm houses, natural spaces and festivals, fairs and markets.

Playful waters
With wonderfully refreshing photographs, this report takes us to the ten best waterfalls in our country. Since youll certainly be tempted to go and see them for yourselves, well also explain how to reach them.
Tarraco Viva
From the 15th to the 25th of May, the Romans return to Tarragona from 2000 years in the past to fill the city with festivals, gladiator fights and exhibitions on the Roman legion to show us how they lived, how they ate, and how they organised themselves.
Nohèdes valley
In the region of Conflent, in Northern Catalonia, there is a nature reserve where more than 40 varieties of orchids grow. It’s a small paradise where, they say, Noah moored his ark full of pairs of animals during the flood.
48 hours in Ibiza
The capital of the island amasses historic and cultural treasures worthy of the best privateers; many of them related to cuisine.
Landscape in movement
Storms put on a spectacular show in the sky and should bring us plenty of wate
Through other eyes
Have you ever seen the crown of the Agbar tower? We have.
Footprints
Rossend Vila dedicated a good part of his youth to plotting maps of the untamed Pyrenees.
Green earth
In summer the salamander comes out at night to feast on mosquitoes, making them the best insecticide ever.
Routes
On foot through the plain of Seu dUrgell in the Alt Urgell region; on bicycle through the Fraguerau ravine in the Priorat; with children through the outskirts of Pedraforca in Bergued.
