l'Escala

La vila de l'Escala és al sud del Golf de Roses, entre l'antiga gola del Fluvià fins al turó de Montgó. Limita al sud amb el terme municipal de Torroella de Montgrí (Baix Empordà).

El nucli antic de l'Escala està situat entre la Mar Mediterrània i un conjunt de turons de les últimes estribacions del nord del massís del Montgrí.

Geològicament el terreny és eminentment calcari, amb restes de llims i argil·les més superficials.
