CATALONIA - COSTA BRAVA: PALS, PERATALLADA AND PALAU-SATOR

Pals and Peratallada are two medieval villages in la Costa Brava really beautiful. Their narrow and cobbled streets, their stone houses, their small and peaceful squares and their walls are worthy of a calm visit to feel their charm. Four hours are enough to visit both villages.

Beautiful Place to enjoy. We can plan for a week to Costa Brava Holidays. The beaches, night pubs and many other attractive places are nearby Costa Brava.
