Greek ruins of Empúries by the Mediterranean Sea.

The town council of l'Escala, along with other Mediterranean municipalities, is finalizing the creation of an association to manage the Phocaean Route as a new European Cultural Route.

The initiative seeks to highlight the impact of the polis of Phocaea, a Greek city-state known for its commercial expansion and the foundation of settlements such as Emporion (Empúries) and Massalia (Marseille).
“

"Its inhabitants feel like heirs to a remote heritage that we want to disseminate and value."
