COSTA BRAVA: CALELLA DE PALAFRUGELL AND LLAFRANC BEACHES

Like Begur, Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell are two lovely seaside villages of La Costa Brava. Their beaches, their typical nice white houses, the Ronda Way between them and the wonderful views of these two villages from San Sebastian Lighthouse are enough reasons to spent one day, or even a weekend, enjoying their beauty.

There are houses built really near the beach in Calella de Palafrugell, so the promenade goes under them when necessary

In march water is still quite cold, so there isn't many people on the beach of Calella de Palafrugell
