COSTA BRAVA: CALONGE

After visiting the old city of Calonge and the castle, we spent a good time in Tea Shop Sa Pubilla (Plaça Major 4). With a delicious tea served with some pastries we enjoyed the relaxing music and the peaceful and cozy ambience of this tea shop. Perfect for a rest! And there is also a lovely small courtyard ideal for summer.

After walking along the Carrer Major of Calonge we arrived at the castle

Calonge castle is well preserved and it's a nice place to visit
