Your property lawyer in L'Escala.
From the old fishing quarter to Riells, Montgó and the Empúries shoreline — buying, tax, planning or inheritance, with fixed fees agreed up front, wherever in the world you are.
What we help with in L'Escala
Buying
A full review before you reserve, pay a deposit or sign anything — including which of the four residential areas your plot sits in.
Owning & tax
Non-resident tax, rental income, wealth tax and making sure your documents are in order.
Renovating & planning
What you can build, extend or legalise — checked against the current plan and the protections that may apply to your plot.
Selling
Prepared and tax-checked before you reach the notary.
Inheritance & wills
Property inherited here, or planning your succession in Spain.
Something else
A letter from the Town Hall, or a situation that doesn't fit a box.
L'Escala's planning rules are more layered than they look.
The town's general plan dates from 1993 and has been amended 36 times without ever being consolidated into a single clear document. A full replacement has been in preparation since 2015 and is still advancing. On top of that, several protections can overlap depending on exactly where your property sits.
An unconsolidated plan
36 point modifications since 1993, on top of the original text — the current rules for a given plot often sit across several documents, not one.
Aiguamolls de l'Empordà
The Natural Park bordering the town carries its own protections under EU bird and habitat directives.
Montgrí, Medes Islands & Baix Ter
A second natural park reaching into the southern part of the municipality, with its own rules.
The coastal system & Empúries
The coastal director plan applies along the shoreline, and properties near the ruins fall under the separate Empúries special plan.
You deal directly with Jordi Anglada.
Twenty years helping foreign owners on the Costa Brava with what actually keeps them up at night — planning, tax, old-house surprises, unclear Town Hall letters. You deal with me, not an office. I tell you where you stand and what to do next — and when a demand is unfair, we contest it.
