Empuriabrava is not only one of the most unique gems of the Costa Brava; it is also the place where adrenaline and natural beauty come together. Its network of navigable canals has earned it the name “Venice of the Mediterranean”, but its true charm lies in the experiences that allow you to see the landscape from another perspective: the sky.
Flying over the Costa Brava: a dream come true
Few places in the world offer such an intense feeling as skydiving over the blue Mediterranean. At Skydive Empuriabrava, one of Europe’s most renowned skydiving centres, thousands of travellers experience every year that blend of vertigo, excitement and freedom that can only be felt when the wind surrounds you and the coastline unfolds beneath your feet.
At over 4,000 metres high, the jump is pure energy: first the free fall, with your heart racing, and then the magical silence as the parachute opens, when all you can hear is the wind and your eyes wander over the sea, the Pyrenees and the white villages of the Costa Brava.
Hot-air balloon ride: calm among the clouds
If you prefer to enjoy the scenery more peacefully, a hot-air balloon flight over Empuriabrava and the Alt Empordà is a truly magical experience. At dawn, as the sun paints the sky in golden hues and the sea reflects the first light of day, the balloon rises gently, and time seems to stand still.
From up there, the view is breathtaking: the canals of Empuriabrava, the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park, the medieval villages of Castelló d’Empúries and Peralada, and the vast blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
A perfect experience for couples, families or anyone who wants to see the Costa Brava from a magical new angle.
Windoor: fly without wings (or fear of heights)
And if you want to feel the thrill of flying without jumping from a plane, Windoor Realfly offers the experience of flying inside a wind tunnel. A fun and safe option for both adults and children, recreating the real sensation of skydiving.
With professional instructors and cutting-edge technology, you’ll be able to float, spin, rise and enjoy that magical feeling of weightlessness… while keeping your feet close to the ground.
Empuriabrava: adrenaline, beauty and sea
Beyond these experiences, Empuriabrava remains a destination for all the senses. Its wide beaches, nautical atmosphere, seafront terraces and proximity to gems like Roses, Cadaqués or the Cap de Creus Natural Park make it an ideal starting point to discover the very best of the Mediterranean.
