Day trip to Empúries
The students were transported back in time this weekend with a trip to Empúries.
Empúries has been described by UNESCO as one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in the world. The students learned about the ancient and medieval heritage of Catalonia by visiting the Greco-Roman archaeological site of Empúries and the adjacent medieval village of Sant Marti d'Empúries. Both are located on the Bay of Roses, right next to its beautiful natural beaches. As soon as they arrived, the students were greeted by a local guide that talked about archaeology, history, and natural landscapes.
After the tour, the students had several hours to explore the quaint medieval town and soak up some sun at the beach. At the beach, the students enjoyed swimming in the cool, crystal clear water and snacking on ice cream. In the town, the students took selfies besides bougainvillea in beautiful stoned alleyways and bought souvenirs at a small craft market.
