Castelló d'Empúries town council has replaced eight panels and plaques on Empuriabrava's heritage trail. Most of the signs had faded in the sun, and some had been vandalised.
The work was carried out in recent days by the council's Historic Heritage Department. The signs mark some of the most notable buildings, sculptures and sites in the residential marina.
A trail born from an anniversary
The heritage signage was designed and installed in 2017 and 2018, when Empuriabrava marked fifty years as a residential marina. Its purpose was twofold: to highlight the marina's most distinctive features and to give visitors a route through its historic, cultural and natural heritage.
Empuriabrava is hosting a new edition of its Oktoberfest this week, with four days of German food, music and entertainment in Plaça de les Palmeres. The event runs from Thursday 24 September to Sunday 27 September, and entry is free.
The festival is modelled on the traditional Bavarian celebration held every autumn in Munich. Organisers describe it as a mix of German cuisine, a festive atmosphere, live music and activities for all ages.
Opening times
The programme began on Thursday 24 September, with activities from 8pm until midnight. On Friday 25 September, the square is open from 6pm to midnight.
Families in Castelló d'Empúries have until Wednesday, September 30, to apply for the town council's grant towards school textbooks and materials for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The grant is worth up to €50 per pupil. It is open to children who are registered as residents in the municipality and enrolled at a school in Castelló d'Empúries. Pupils from the first year of primary school up to the fourth year of ESO, the final year of compulsory secondary education in Spain, are eligible.
Residency here means being on the padró, the municipal register of inhabitants. Enrolment at a local school is not enough on its own. The pupil must also appear on the town's register.
