For many centuries, the Empordą coast was subject to attacks by pirates and the population was centred more inland, in walled villages or in fortified farmhouses with defence towers. From the 18th century, the danger started to become less and maritime neighbourhoods started to appear. These maritime hamlets have been transformed by tourism and have become important tourist centres. The route will therefore take you from the coast inland, so that you will see the contrasts in the countryside between the land and the sea.
