The quiet ambience of Calella de Palafrugell makes it an idyllic holiday spot. Part of Bajo Ampurdian on the Costa Brava, the village is located approximately 110 km from Barcelona and just 50 km from Girona. Renowned for its fishing and local produce, Calella de Palafrugell is a charming place whose narrow streets, bright white houses and laid-back atmosphere make it a relaxing place to live or visit. There are adjacent beaches by the village, while smaller, more intimate coves and sands can be found a very short drive away. The outdoor walking and hiking trails offer fabulous sea views, and nearby Cap Roig has world-class botanical gardens and a castle, must-visit attractions.

Regular festivals celebrate the local delicacy of the sea urchin, while there are many other carnivals and cultural sights to experience. Property here is reasonably priced and ranges from comfortable apartments to stunning elevated houses with views over the Mediterranean. It is more affordable than some of the more exclusive resorts of the nearby coast, and offers charm in abundance. Tourists particularly enjoy the relaxed feel of Calella de Palafrugell, and there are plenty of small hotels and guesthouses along with rental apartments and houses to choose from.
