Palafrugell Tourist Information - Costa Brava

Palafrugell has one of the best positions on the Costa Brava. Palafrugell has changed very little over the years and escaped from mass tourism. A very popular resort for Catalans themselves and a village bringing in a mix of nationalities to enjoy the many small coves and sandy beaches that it has to offer with their crystal clear waters. From the Canadell beach to the Sant Roc beach. In Calella de Palafrugell, you will find a wide selection of bars and restaurants along front. There are endless footpaths along the coast and inland to enjoy. The botanical gardens on Cap Roig above the beautiful El Golfet beach are a must for a visit with fabulous views out to sea. Here in the summer months there are a number of concerts taken place.

The busy market town of Palafrugell has a strong Catalan atmosphere and a history as a centre of cork production. The Museu del Suro is devoted to the local cork industry and also has a display of cork sculptures. Palafrugell has been at the heart of attempts to promote and alternative image of the Costa Brava, using, culture, festivals and gastronomy to attract a different kind of tourist outside the summer season. In December the restaurants serve El Niu, a local casserole featuring cod, hake, cuttlefish, eggs and potatoes. Between January and March the speciality is sea-urchins, which form the basis of a culinary festival known as la garoinada. Another unique Palafrugell event is the Carroussel Carnival parade on whit Sunday, introduced in 1962 as a way round Franco’s prohibition of Shrovetide Carnival. A large market is held in Palafrugell on Sunday mornings. The Festa Major with sardana dances and other festivities takes place from in July.
