The church in the Sant Martí d’Empúries village. "The name ‘Empúries’ is derived from the Latin ‘Empuriae’ which in turn comes from the Classic Greek word ‘Emporion’ meaning ‘market,’ which is how the Greeks spoke of the colony, the initial purpose of which was to have the advantage of being a commercial power. From the early Middle Ages it had always been known as Empúries, or Vila d’Empúries, which would change to Sant Martí d’Empúries (for the arrival of its church) from 1766, when L’Escala became the municipal capital."

Christmas Celebration in L’Escala was very enjoyable, good food, uncrowded water front, streets lit up with Christmas lights in Old City, very pleasant out of season.
