LOCATION
For a good reason, we chose as our base a former, old fishing village in the municipality of Palafrugell, with picture postcard beaches, coves and a Mediterranean flavour. It has a special charm, and its old maritime quarter, Port Bo, has been declared a cultural asset of national importance. This quarter retains the original layout of the village, with its traditional white porched buildings. It includes the complex of vaults, originally used to sew nets and auction fish.

You'd not see many foreigners but Spaniards on holiday there.
Calella de Palafrugell has coves and beaches linked via a well-engineered coastal walk known as the Cami de Ronda, passing along the cliffs and through several tunnels on the way. It was originally built to connect the diverse coastal towns, beaches and small bays. Later, it was used to help the Carabineros control the coast and stop smuggling.

We will walk the most scenic sections of the path that winds down the coast from Begur to Calella de Palafrugell and further south to La Fosca.
