Luxury holidays in Palafrugell

A pocket of Mediaeval Spain set just inland from the centrepoint of the Costa Brava, Palafrugell has narrow cobbled alleys to wend down, a lively plaza and ancient villas with terracotta roofs. It’s home to a lighthouse viewpoint over the Med, contemporary sculpture gallery and museum dedicated to cork-craft, but really you’re here to shimmy along the coast, discovering hidden coves, scuba-diving and hiking along ruggedly beautiful footpaths. And, here you’re privy to picturesque swathes of Catalan countryside and Empordà’s culinary clout.

When to go

Aim to hit the Costa Brava in spring or autumn to avoid the troupes of tanning tourists.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Girona – Costa Brava airport is the closest, about a 50-minute drive away, although Barcelona (about a two-hour drive away) has more domestic and international arrivals.

  • Trains

    Girona train station (which has links to Montpellier) is around an hour’s drive away.

  • Automobiles

    Palafrugell itself is walkable, but you’ll cover its four kilometres fairly fast, so acquire a car for exploring further afield.
