THE NAME
EMPORION is the name of the oldest Greek colony, founded by the Phoenicians. In the current Ampuries remains have been found of the oldest wines in the Iberian Peninsula dating back to VI century BC and from where comes the name EMPORDÀ  that indentifies the region and the 'Denominacion de Origen' (guarantee of origin).
The winged horse, Pegasus, identified EMPORION with the money (dracmas) that was minted in the colony during the Greek period and subsequently by the Romans.
