Calella de Palafrugell is the largest of Palafrugell's beach resorts and consists of a series of pretty coves strung out like pearls behind a fishing village with whitewashed arches on the promenade. Fishing boats are pulled up on the sand and the seafood restaurants beside the water are always busy. Development here has been low-rise and low-key; this old-fashioned resort seems to have found a middle way between the excesses of mass tourism and the exclusivity of some of its smaller neighbours. A cliff path leads to Llafranch, making a delightful stroll. High above the bay the Jardi Botanic de Cap Roig is a botanical garden offering stunning views. Regarded by many as the most beautiful resort on the Spanish mainland this is a traditional fishing village with sandy coves and beaches providing a relaxing holiday environment. The coastal walk from the botanical gardens and El Golfet beach to Calella's twin village Llafranch takes you along some of the Costa Brava's most picturesque bays.

The beaches, restaurants, bars and small shops in the villages make this walk an absolute must. Take a walk or bicycle ride into the woods and fields behind the coast and you enter a tranquil rural world.
