Empuriabrava Online Blog and News

First of all, if you are on holiday, or just about to arrive, then I know that you don’t want to hear this but let me tell you; we really need the rain.
You may know that we have had water restrictions here for a while - we can’t use hose pipes or fill swimming pools […]

The Redesign
Those of you who have visited Empuriabrava Online before Tuesday will have noticed that the site has undergone a major redesign, one which you hopefully like. I just thought that I’d briefly explain why I redesigned the site and things to expect in the future because I haven’t quite finished doing everything that I […]

At long, long last the redesign of Empuriabrava Online is finished. Well sort of. There’s lots more to do and loads of things to add but the main part is done.
Tomorrow I’ll be writing a proper post about the redesign, the reasons behind it and a “to do” list but if you want to let […]

I was just looking over my visitor statistics for the month of April and I saw that 3,368 visitors visited Empuriabrava Online of which 73% were new visitors. For a small website serving a very niche topic (one small town in Spain) this is great.
I’d just like to say thank you to all of you […]

Just a reminder to everyone that Thursday 1st of May is a big holiday here in Spain and the supermarkets will be closed.
Normally in Empuriabrava most of the supermarkets are open on fiesta days but this is not the case on May Day so make sure you’re not caught out.
Have a good holiday, the weather […]

I have uploaded some 88 photos that I took of the carnival last Friday and Sunday.
I personally loved the chickens!
I have a new camera and I’m not too sure how to use it properly so some of the pictures leave a lot to be desired. Still, practice makes perfect.
See the photos for yourself on Flickr. 

Just a quickie to remind you that the Empuriabrava and Castelló Carnival is this weekend - 8th, 9th and 10th February. The carnival procession kicks off at 10pm on Friday outside the Náutic Centre.
More details to follow…

As 2007 draws to a close I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting Empuriabrava Online and to wish all of you a happy, safe and prosperous new year.
Next year will see some major changes to this website and one of them is my new year’s resolution to post more often on […]

Just a reminder that next Tuesday (September 11th) is Diada Catalunya - Catalonia Day. It is a big holiday in Catalonia and all the shops/supermarkets will be closed so get your supplies in before hand.
Remember also that the supermarkets have switched over to winter opening hours on Sundays so are now closing at 14:00.

I went to Empuriabrava Market this morning (as I do every Saturday for fruit and veg).
Before I went I walked the dog. Along the way I was stopped for directions to the market.
When I came back from the market I read a post about how Google Maps can now be embedded into blogs.
So here you […]
