The Costa Brava Experience
Medieval "Time Travel" to Pals & Peratallada
Just a short drive away are the villages of Pals and Peratallada, which are among the best-preserved medieval towns in Spain. With their cobblestone streets, stone archways, and fortified walls, they offer a complete change of scenery and feel like a movie set—perfect for a culturally enriching afternoon off.
The Cap Roig Botanical Gardens
Located on a cliffside in Calella de Palafrugell, these are considered some of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the Mediterranean. They host over 1,000 plant species and offer sculptures and walking paths with dramatic ocean views, providing a quiet, contemplative space for artists.
