Hostal Empuriès sits in one of the most recognisable places on the Costa Brava. Its location, right by the sea and only steps away from quiet coastal paths, has made it a natural stop for travellers, families, and a growing number of cyclists. Many riders use the hotel as a base, especially during spring and autumn, when the Costa Brava becomes one of the best places in Catalonia for long days on the bike. Some arrive from nearby Girona, others follow the Pirinexus cycling loop that connects inland towns with the coastline before cutting back across La Selva and the Empordà.
This mix of visitors fits perfectly with the stories told by Nafent Magazine, the bilingual cycling publication that highlights Catalonia and Andorra through long-form routes, interviews, and community features. Nafent publishes every edition in Catalan and English, making it accessible for both locals and international visitors—exactly the kind of audience that fills Hostal Empuriès throughout the year.
In the magazine, the Costa Brava appears often: gravel tracks between Sant Martí d’Empúries and Roses, quiet stretches around the Aiguamolls, and road climbs that start near the coast before rising into the interior. Instead of writing only about the well-known Girona routes, Nafent focuses on how riders actually move across the region. The coastline plays a central role in that movement, and Hostal Empuriès is one of the places where these paths intersect.
The hotel welcomes cyclists in every season. Winter brings guests from northern Europe escaping the cold. Spring fills the area with training groups. Summer attracts families who mix holiday time with shorter rides at sunrise. Autumn belongs to gravel, with many riders linking the beachside paths to forest tracks inland. Nafent often uses these seasonal rhythms to explain how cycling has become part of the tourism identity of the Costa Brava.
The magazine also follows community-driven events and stories that reflect the social side of the sport. In recent volumes, Nafent has covered Oncogravel and the work of Oncolliga, showing how riders support local causes while exploring the landscape around Girona and the Empordà. These pieces sit naturally next to coastal routes and portraits of people who return to the area each year, either to train or simply to enjoy the scenery.
By documenting these places in two languages, Nafent helps visitors understand the region more deeply and gives Catalan readers a chance to see their own environment from a fresh point of view, as Nafent Magazine continues to show how cycling, culture, and tourism along the Costa Brava.
