“One of the most charming enclaves on the Costa Brava”, that’s what it says National Geographic about this fishing village of Girona, a jewel that you have to know these corners of, which has made us dream of an idyllic summer in the Mediterranean as soon as we see the first photo.
Calella de Palafrugell is everything that the Costa Azul and the Amalfi Coast promise. It is the sum of crystalline waters, boats stranded on the sand, pine forests that reach the sea and tradition of a fishing village that has maintained its essence despite the passing of the years and tourism.
The whitewashed walls and the odd detail in indigo make us travel to the Greek Islands, but yes, for much less and in a more comfortable way. No crowds that only seem to disappear when we find the perfect angle to take a photo.
Calella de Palafrugell, in addition to its dreamy natural landscapes, offers exquisite local cuisine based on rice and fish in which the Garoinada (sea urchins) stands out, which is celebrated during the first quarter of the year. It is also typical of the area creama drink based on rum and hot coffee.
Calella de Palafrugell to enjoy adventure and its natural environment
This Catalan corner, in addition to offering guaranteed disconnection and relaxation, has some ideal plans for those looking for something more than beach tourism (beautiful and without balconyyes indeed).
If you want to do something a little different, The Camí de Ronda is the path or promenade par excellence on the Costa Brava. It links Cape Creus with Blanes and is more or less accessible depending on the area. Go with booties or sports shoes like the Nike City Trainer that you can get now for less than 52 euros, a backpack and some provisions to enjoy views and a unique experience.
Another possibility is to do surface diving, to go a little further than what you can find with the naked eye. Let yourself be surprised by the richness of the crystalline waters of this little corner of the Catalan coast.
And finally, we propose a bike ride in the purest style Blue summer. Get lost in the paths that surround and cross Calella de Palafrugell and finish the route with a swim on the beach, what better reward?
Get to know the treasures of this little town of just 700 inhabitants and discover everything that the Costa Brava has to offer. Because in the end, like home nowhere.
