Empuriabrava
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Empuriabrava (Ampuriabrava in Spanish) is one of the largest marinas in the world. It is located on the coast of Girona (Catalonia, Spain).
Empuriabrava was originally built on a swamp, and was transformed into a touristic community with original planning in 1964 and completion in 1975. The town has more than 40km of canals and a seasonal, summer population of around 80,000. The Greco-Roman acropolis of Sant Martí d'Empúries is nearby.
On January 14th over 4000 properties in Empuriabrava were expropriated by the Spanish Government without compensation.[vague][citation needed]
Its aerodrome (ICAO-code LEAP), immediately to the North of the town, serves various air sports.
