ENVIRONMENTCalella de Palafrugell is much more
than just sun and beaches

Calella de Palafrugell is much more than just sun and beaches. It is culture, gastronomy, art and sports. It is entertainment in both spring and summer.

Considered the best holiday coast in the world in 2012, and the favourite coastal town in Spain for Traveler readers in 2017, Calella de Palafrugell is the enclave where Camping Moby Dick is located.

And this is Camping Moby Dick: a small secret treasure in the town itself and just 100 meters from the sea.

We are waiting for you…

Discover the Costa Brava

Camino de Ronda

Walk the Camino de Ronda, a path that runs along the entire Catalan coast. For those who want to make the most of the experience in Calella de Palafrugell without missing any of the incredible coves, this is the best option. It is signposted with two marks: one white and one red, which easily indicate the fascinating Camino de Ronda. Explore the Baix Empordà route and discover new landscapes and natural coves.

La Vìa Verda

Between Palamós and Palafrugell is the walking route known as Vía Verda. It was formerly called the Ruta del Tren Petit, as it was used to connect the Costa Brava with Girona by rail. Today it is an exciting route surrounded by trees and the smell of forest, perfect for cyclists and adventurous hikers.

Rich Gastronomy

Savour the Costa Brava: a feast for your senses. Sea and mountains come together in the gastronomy to offer you a unique culinary experience. Let yourself be surprised by the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean and the local products. Prawns from Palamós, anchovies from l’Escala, sea urchins, rice from Pals, accompanied by wine from l’Empordà, and for dessert a good crema catalana or a recuit de drap.

Illes Formigues

The Illes Formigues, a natural wonder on the Costa Brava. It is an archipelago of four islets and twelve reefs located 1,300m from the tip of d’en Canet, between Palamós and Palafrugell. A magical place that will surprise you with its natural beauty and its crystal clear waters. It´s a splendid destination for a boat trip, diving and snorkeling due to its seabed full of life.

Beaches of Calella

Indulge in leisure, art and culture

Habaneras

On the beach of Port Bo, every first Saturday of July you can listen to the traditional Habaneras that recall the comings and goings of merchants from Calella de Palafrugell to Havana. “El meu avi”, that Habanera that we all know, pays homage to the soldiers who fought in the war that made Cuba independent in 1898. The lyrics of many other songs help to revive the past and remember the close ties that existed between these two magnificent regions of the world.
