Palafrugell holidays – Attractive market town and pretty beach resort
Holidays in Palafrugell are based in and around the attractive market town of Palafrugell and the nearby beach resort of Calella de Palafrugell, in the middle of the Costa Brava, 30 miles east of Gerona airport. Palafrugell holiday accommodation is divided between the old market town inland and the beach resort 2 miles to the east. The medieval old centre of Palafrugell has pretty narrow streets, fine old shops and the 16th century church of Sant Marti. Palafrugell holidays are excellently placed for enjoying one of the prettiest stretches of Costa Brava coastline and several of its most charming and picturesque resorts. Palafrugell holidays tend to appeal to couples or families with small children.
Calella de Palafrugell – One of the prettiest Costa Brava beach resorts
Holidays in Palafrugell tend to centre on Calella de Palafrugell, a small relaxed attractive-looking Costa Brava beach resort that tumbles down from the headland of Punta de la Torre. Calella de Palafrugell is a pleasant little resort with pretty traditional buildings, set on a broad bay with rocky inlets and wooded hills. Palafrugell holiday nightlife is a low-key affair with waterfront bars and restaurants in Calella de Palafrugell and a disco between Palafrugell and the beach resort. Holidays in Palafrugell are not complete without walking to the lighthouse at Cap Sant Sebastian for fine views of the rugged coastline. Palafrugell holidays can also include easy coast walks to Llafranc and the equally charming beach resort of Tamariu. Holidays in Llafranc are well-placed for visiting the botanical gardens at Cap Roig, the medieval town of Pals and the lovely Gothic old centre of Gerona.
Palafrugell beaches – A series of tiny picturesque sandy coves
The main Palafrugell beaches are found at Calella de Palafrugell, Aigua Xelida, Tamariu and Llafranc. Calella de Palafrugell beaches are attractive spots with beautifully clean clear water ideal for sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and splashing around in rock pools. El Canadell and Port Bo Beach are the largest Palafrugell beaches. Holidays in Palafrugell can make use of the excellent coast path to visit El Golfet Beach at the foot of steep cliffs, and explore the pretty little sandy coves that are typical of the region. Most Palafrugell beaches have a couple of beach bars or restaurants and picturesque little beach promenades. Holidays in Palafrugell offer excellent diving along the coast. Buses run from Calella de Palafrugell to Palafrugell and Llafranc and onwards to Gerona and Barcelona.
