Calella de Palafrugell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calella de Palafrugell is a small holiday resort and fishing village in Catalunya 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 has 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 fo the Costa Brava north of Palamos and south of L'Estartit Calella has moved steadily up market in recent times and offers some very high quality restaurants and hotels - at prices to match. The beaches are Blue Flag standard.
