Calella de Palafrugell is home to treasures that will take your breath away.

Calella de Palafrugell is an old fishing town located between two natural wonders: its beautiful beaches and majestic mountains that are sure to make you forget your cares and worries as you feel the stress just melt away. It has managed to conserve its traditional essence and resisted mass tourism, making it the ideal place to relax and recharge your batteries. Book a cheap trip to Calella de Palafrugell and find out for yourself.

Discover the secrets behind the town’s past along its narrow streets, where local families lived off the sea and fished. Those times are all but over, giving the town an air of nostalgia that’s hard to find in other places and a wonder to experience.

Don't miss out on one of our many trips to Calella and get ready to explore some of its small coves, such as Platja del Golfet Beach, hidden away in a stunning natural cove among crags that gives the beach an intimate atmosphere. If you don’t want to move too far from the centre, take a splash in the clear waters of Platja d'en Calau and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the nearby streets. Of course, cuisine plays an important role in the history of Palafrugell. More daring gourmands are sure to love the local delicacy garoines, sea urchins.

If you fancy a change of scenery during your package deal to Calella, there’s a whole host of hiking routes to explore some breathtaking views. Strap on your walking boots and follow the GR-92 route, which offers some unbeatable views of the Mediterranean coast. If you prefer to travel on two wheels, make sure you don’t miss out on the hundreds of miles of trails suitable for bicycles, which more adventurous guests will just love.

Whether it be for the beaches, the incredible nature, the local festivities and markets or the cuisine, there’s no end of reasons to choose this Catalan gem. What are you waiting for? You’re sure to have an unforgettable time.
