Europen Tour 29 - Empuriabrava - WET WET WET Motoringmasons 2026-02-15 | We leave Benicàssim and head north to Empuriabrava, famously known as the “Venice of the Costa Brava.” With miles of canals, waterside houses, and boats moored outside back gardens, it’s one of the most unique places we’ve visited on our European tour.There’s just one problem…It doesn’t stop raining.What should have been sunshine reflecting on tranquil canals turns into relentless downpours — and then our phones light up with a civil defence “risk to life” weather warning.
