Your Itinerary

Peratallada

The town of Peratallada is perched on an old sandstone hill and is one of Catalonia’s best-preserved medieval sites. Its spectacular city walls, built atop the jagged rock, give it a special majesty not seen anywhere else in the region. The original height of the towers is preserved, and the castle with the Tribute Tower is one of the few castles in the Empordà region that has been preserved without any changes since it was built. All this, together with the maze of cobbled streets, gateways to the walled compounds, squares, arcades and winding alleys, makes for a unique visit that will take us back in time. In 1975 the town of Peratallada was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest (BCIN) in the historical-artistic complex category. This declaration was motivated by the desire to preserve and highlight the many remnants of the town’s medieval past, such as the moats, the walls, the Tribute Tower and the entire urban fabric of the town.

Monells

Monells is a small medieval village located in the region of Baix Empordà, in the middle of the Gavarres Natural Park. It is a town with a lot of history, a lot to teach and a very special charm. It has ended up being, in short, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Its main features are the yellowish stone houses, arches and cobblestone floors. Its architecture has Gothic influence and all buildings have potted plants, ivy on the walls or flowers on the balconies, making walking through the streets a pleasure. One of the spots of the village that best exemplifies its aesthetics is the Arcs street. It is named for its peculiar arches and is one of the most photographed places in Monells. At the end of the street is the Oli Square. It is a very photogenic place where a medieval market was held during the 14th and 15th centuries. However, in the late seventeenth century this market was held in the Jaume I square. It became one of the most important markets in Catalonia.

Pals

Pals welcomes you from a distance, as soon as you see, on the horizon, the silhouette of its wall around the town and can make out the church and the majestic Torre de les Hores tower, one of the few remains that is preserved of the old castle and an emblem of the town. Walking through the narrow cobbled streets of the medieval town you will be surprised by the light of the ochre and golden colors reflected on the sandstone of the buildings. On your way through the town, you will come to the Town Square, the Visigoth tombs, the church, the castle, the Torre de les Hores, the town walls which you leave behind you along the way to the Josep Pla Viewpoint from where you can contemplate beauty and the sobriety of the Empordà Plain presided over by the Montgrí Massif with the Medes Isles in the background. A walk along these streets and alleys takes us straight back to the middle ages: there are stone arches, Moorish arches, Romanesque and Gothic doorways and windows.

Playa de Pals

The Costa Brava may be famous for its pretty little beaches and coves, but the small, beautiful village of Pals offers visitors a fantastic sandy beach to enjoy. It is called Platja de Pals ('Beach of Pals' in Catalan) and is one of the longest beaches on the Costa Brava (3.5 km in total). It has two parts with different names. One is referred to as Platja Gran and the other as Platja del Grau. With pretty pine forests, dunes and reeds on one side and wonderful views over the Medes Islands on the other, Platja de Pals is a spectacular beauty. Its long stretch of fine golden sand is 70 meters wide on average and provides an excellent space to play beach volleyball and other games. This beach is fairly unspoilt and peaceful and so it's a great place to simply disconnect and relax. Platja de Pals is part of the Montgrí Massif, Medes Islands and the Baix Ter Natural Park, which makes it good for walking too. Be sure to bring your swimsuit if you want to swim.
