Empuriabrava is located on the coast of Girona, Catalonia. It lies in between Roses and Castello d' Empuries, across the Mediterranean seacoast. It was originally built on a swamp, and afterwards transformed into a tourist community of houses and markets. It also holds one of the biggest used boat sales in the world where one can buy from a large yacht to a small fishing boat. Empuriabrava holds annual festivals and parties, making it a famous tourist destination.

Skydive Empuriabrava organizes  several other international events, such as the Surf Inn Speed star challenge, the Open Skyrats Trophy and the Captains Cabin Canopy Formation Challenge. It is responsible for bringing together an international concentration of skydivers for skydiving festival events, such as the Easter Boogie and the Christmas Boogie.

There are two means of getting into contact with free-fall. The Tandem jump or the Accelerated Freefall Course (AFF). The Tandem parachute jump is the best alternative for those who want to enjoy the feeling of free-fall without any complications whatsoever. The AFF skydiving course and IFF (Mini AFF) are for those who are sure that they want to learn about free-fall and eventually become skydivers.
