What is the color of spring in L'Escala? The blue of the Mediterranean Sea competes with the intense red of the inland poppy fields in the surroundings of this Alt Empordà town, as can be seen in this snapshot in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
L'Escala is one of the main tourist centers on the Costa Brava. The name comes from the time of the Romans, Scala, which means pier or place where ships dock.
For this reason, the blue of the sea always accompanies this town, although in spring, the flowering fields bring more colors. The intense red of poppies is one of the most striking.
And the natural surroundings of L'Escala are pleasant, with the massif of Montgrí and the Aiguamolls, which are complemented by their extensive and small beaches or the coves between rocky cliffs.
The population center of L'Escala is made up of eight towns, among which Empúries, San Martí d'Empúries, Les Corts and Camps dels Pilans stand out.
