Tour por los pueblos medievales de Girona - EN

When arriving at Calella de Palafrugell it seems that time has stopped, on the beach of Port Bo we still find the boats to go to the daily fishing. As if the fishermen were still waiting for the storm to calm before they went to sea ... The low-rise whitewashed houses have been renovated but retain all the charm of other times. The coastline in this area has been saved from the savage destruction that has plagued our coastline lately. We also find houses in the Colonial style of the Indianos, the young people who embarked on their way to America to make their fortune, most of them to Cuba. Some returned with longing for those lands and with sweet and sad music, the Havaneras. In July on the beach of Port Bo the Cantada de Havaneras de Calella is celebrated, on a stage on the sea, surrounded by crowded boats, the boys sing their melancholy as if they had just arrived from overseas.

Taking a walk of about 15 minutes along the coastal path we will arrive at Llafranc, a small cove of golden sand, with a small promenade and terraces and restaurants that overlook it. At the top of one of the hills that cross it is the Sant Sebastià lighthouse with the best views over the coast.

From Llafranc we will go to Begur, also a fishing village, settled on a hill and with a castle in the highest part that dominates the entire coast and the Baix Empordà plain. Narrow streets and small squares. It also shares a past with Calella and Llafranc with a good number of houses of the Indianos. small jewels that stand out with the simplicity of the rest of the buildings.

We will eat in Pals, where we can taste the delicious rice dishes that are grown in the area. After lunch we will visit the Gothic enclosure known as El Pedró, the church of Sant Pere, the Torre de las Horas ... and to finish we will visit Peratallada, undoubtedly a marvel of medieval civil architecture. We will see how this small town preserves its feudal heritage intact, narrow and winding streets, stone buildings. We will see the wall, the moat, the castle-palace, the square with porches ...

On the way to Girona, we will stop at La Bisbal d'Empordà, to see the beautiful ceramic pieces that are manufactured in this area.
