Pals (6 km away): a journey into the past

Perched on a hilltop, Pals is one of the most charming medieval villages on the Costa Brava. Its old town, with its cobbled streets and beautifully preserved stone buildings, transports you to another era. The iconic Torre de les Hores (Tower of the Hours), a Romanesque landmark, rises above the rooftops and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

One of the highlights is the Josep Pla viewpoint, where you can take in the sweeping landscape of Empordà — from the rice fields stretching to the sea, to the Medes Islands on the horizon. These centuries-old rice fields produce the famous Arròs de Pals, the star of many traditional regional recipes.

Beyond its heritage and cuisine, Pals also boasts a wide beach perfect for swimming and water sports. With the perfect mix of culture, nature, and great food, Pals is a must-see destination to experience the true spirit of Empordà.
