Summer warm weather is already here\u00a0and every weekend we have more desire to go to the beach to sunbathe under the sun. But why not get away from Barcelona and discover nearby places that can also offer tranquility, scenery and good food? From ShBarcelona<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0we invite you to visit a town in the Costa Brava, in the north of Catalonia, called Palam\u00f3s, known as a fishing village with idyllic beaches where you eat the best fresh fish and seafood. We have already spoken on this blog about\u00a0the Costa Brava<\/strong><\/a>, the most beautiful coast of Catalonia and we dare to say that of Spain (with much respect). Here you have\u00a0one of the most recommended places in this coast for both tourists and locals.<\/p>\n

Gastronomy: seafood at La Lonja<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Palam\u00f3s<\/a>

Palam\u00f3s Fish Market<\/p><\/div>\n

This is one of the aspects, along with their beaches, which attracts more visitors to Palam\u00f3s. The authentic cuisine of fishermen, with the freshest products taken from the sea, can be found in most restaurants. We can also visit the Fish Market<\/strong>, where a daily auction of fish is performed by fishermen in touch with sellers. Right there chefs cook\u00a0traditional seafood recipes that you can try paired with a wine from the area. Surely if you’re going to Palamos you must try the famous prawns<\/strong>, visit the “Espai del Peix<\/em><\/strong>” and don’t\u00a0forget the delicious traditional lobster or fish pot. Also in Palam\u00f3s there are various places to try some of the best tapas<\/em> and nouvelle cuisine<\/em> dishes.<\/p>\n

Best Beaches<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"S'Alguer<\/a>

S’Alguer beach<\/p><\/div>\n

If you are looking for the quietest beaches and coves (calas) at\u00a0La Costa Brava, Palam\u00f3s won’t disappoint you. We recommend the virgin\u00a0beach called Castell<\/strong><\/a>, which is close to the remains of an Iberian town, close to the Cala Sa Foradada<\/strong><\/em>, also well known as a natural setting of incomparable beauty. In the Cala de S’Alguer<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0you even can stay in one of the 12 fishermen houses there\u00a0to enjoy that place for a longer time. To reach the Cala Estreta<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0you have to walk for 15 minutes from Playa Castell, but it’s worth the short walk to enjoy one of the best beaches on the Catalan coast. You should not miss the harbor and the bay of Palam\u00f3s, where you’ll take a long walk at dusk and buy some souvenirs in the 9 km of nice walk.<\/p>\n

Other activities<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"palamos<\/a>As a windy coastal town which is, Palam\u00f3s also offers the possibility to do water sports and other leisure attractions during the time you stay there\u00a0(karting, paintball, hiking, mountain biking<\/strong>, etc.). You can jump aboard Rafael, a latee sailboat from the\u00a01915 and travel to other towns on the Costa Brava like Tamari\u00fa. You can also choose to visit the depths of the sea if you dare to dive, to rent a kayak, to water skiing, or practicing paddle surf<\/strong>. The possibilities are endless, you choose!<\/p>\n
