The festivals form part of the tradition and history of l’Escala, the passing of time has changed a lot of habits but there are festivals that remain alive in l’Escala: the carnaval, the summer concerts, the anchovy festival, the giants’ reunion, the Sardana dancers, etc. L’Escala harbours one of the oldest and most traditional industries, inherited from our ancestors, the Greeks of Empúries. Anchovy salting is a home-made product, a natural product and carries the name of its origin.
In the old part of the town, there is the parish church of Sant Pere de l’Escala and a few narrow side streets which still have some beautiful houses from the 18th and the 19th centuries and in the midst of the houses that stand out is the house where Victor Català was born and where he died (pseudonym of the writer Caterina Albert i Paradís).
You will also find the Meranges house (the Meranges family stood out in the last century for its work in the excavation of Empùries), and the old Alfolí de la Sal or Pòsit Vell.
