To the east of Palafrugell, between Llafranch and Tamariu. The hotel (4Star) offers a home to an 18th Century chapel. The restaurant "El Far" is excellent and the views are outstanding.
Here we can find the underwater Archaeological Museum, a Catalan wine and champagne exhibition, painting and sculpture exhibitions and also a display of some of the utensils belonging to the first chemist in Pals.
The church has existed since 997 and some of the stones used in its construction came from the old castle. Here we can find a mixture of styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and a bell from the XVIII century.
The Castle which dates from the ix century was the scene of many hard battles and was completely destroyed in 1478. King John II gave his permission to use the stones to finish the church leaving only the tower "Torre de l'homenatge" and one arch of the castle itself. A private villa owned by the Pi i Figueres family now occupies the castle land. Despite being a relatively modern building (1948) it was built in accordance with the gothic style of the old town. Slideshow
It is an old castle at the top of the village. It is in ruins but worth a visit as it is a view point for the whole of the village and some of the local beaches.

The old town of Peratallada is famous for its medieval architecture. It is extraordinarily attractive and beautiful. The old moat surrounding this old town, which no longer has water in it, is what the town was named after - pedra Tallada (Carved Rock). It's real attraction is that it has managed to preserve it's rural character and at the same time offer the visitor shops and restaurants of great quality, in keeping with its cultural history. It's a must to dine out here for at least one evening!
If you like museums this is a must. Only a few miles from the
apartment towards Toroella and west. It was once a port and you can see how the water has receded a couple of
kilometers to where the coast line now is.
Even if you do not like museums it is still worth a visit just for the views and countryside.
Banyoles is less than an hour away form the apartment, It is an idyllic lake side setting surrounded by the foothills of the Pyrenees. This was the setting for the 1995 Olympic Games rowing events when stephen redgrave won his 4th Olympic title.
This is where Salvador Dali had his second home.
It is an attractive little fishing port accessed by a twisting mountainous road.
The Dali museum is more interesting than most
Not pretty but if you want to do any shopping for pottery this is the place.
They make it all here
Too much to mention here. Need plenty of time to do it justice.
Many people go just to visit the 2 football grounds and the Olympic stadium.
To see Barcelona live go to the web cam

A two day trip there and back from the apartment.
A bit like mini Switzerland with duty free prices.
If you like the rural aspects of Catalunya but wold prefer to be in France then here is a lovely rural farmhouse setting ideal for a holiday away from it all www.maisonwest.co.uk
