Location Information:
Calella de Palafrugell is a small
holiday resort and fishing village
in Catalonia, Spain on the Costa
Brava, near Palafrugell and a short
distance along the coast from
Llafranc. It should not be confused
with the larger, more commercialised
resort of Calella, which is further
south towards Barcelona.
Calella de Palafrugell has an
excellent setting and, whilst busy
in the summer season, it does not
have the large hotels and mass
tourism of other Costa Brava resorts
such as Lloret de Mar. The coastline
of the town stretches some two
kilometres south to the El Golfet
beach - part of the Cap Roig
headland where beautiful Botanical
gardens are located.
The
town has a number of good standard
hotels, apartments and, at a
distance from the beach, some
campsites. Like much of the
picturesque section of the Costa
Brava, north of Palamos and south of
L'Estartit, Calella has moved
steadily upmarket in recent times
and offers some very high quality
restaurants and hotels - at prices
to match. The beaches are Blue Flag
standard.
Calella de Palafrugell has a number
of beautiful small coves linked to
Llafranc via a coastal walk. The
first of the beaches at Calella de
Palafrugell is 'Canadell' where you
have the Tragamar restaurant on the
beach which is open all year round.
Port
Bo is a lovely small sandy cove
located just south of central
Calella de Palafrugell. Les Voltes
is a very popular beach where you
have a small promenade set back from
the beach with a couple of
restaurants and beach shop. Platja
Sota Can Calau is the next one along
and after that Port Pelegri, Sant
Roc and El Golfet which is
approximately 1.5km from central
Calella de Palafrugell.
Calella de Palafrugell is a very
popular destination dominated by
apartments blocks set just back
enough not to be seen from the
beach. There are only a small number
of hotels in this area.
