Calella de Palafrugell Vacation Rental

We have stayed several times in this villa which probably speaks for itself. The property is well-appointed and comfortable and is within easy walking distance of Calella de Palafrugell. The owner lives next door and is able to give expert guidance on local restaurants, shops etc. We have found him to be extremely helpful in every respect.
Calella itself is a lovely village with beaches in rocky coves. It offers a range of eating establishments, bars etc. A short distance (and a pleasant walk) away is the viillage of Llafranc which offers a larger beach. The beaches are well maintained and safe; lifeguards are on duty most of the time.
Within half an hour's drive of Calella there are many interesting places to visit. The local town Palafrugell has a market which is worth visiting. Not far away are several medieval villages including Pals and Peratellada. The city of Gerona boasts a spectacular cathedral among numerous other interesting attractions. The countryside also offers some excellent eating establishments whose prices are often lower than those on the coast. The owner of the villa has an encyclopaedic knowledge of these establishments.
The countryside around Calella is criss-crossed with both cycle paths (the owner provides 2 bicycles for guests' use) and walking routes. Much of the countryside is covered with pine trees but there is also a lot of agriculture. Sunflowers and Maize are prominent crops. The area around Calella is relatively unspoilt with little evidence of high rise apartment blocks. In Calella itself the buildings are generally tasteful in both design and colour.
Communication is excellent: the road to Gerona Airport is nearly all dual now and Barcelona is easily accessible on the motorway. The French border to the North is about an hour away. Day trips to Perpignan or the Pyrenees are perfectly feasible.
For the golfer there are several courses within easy reach - that at Pals is probably the most established. Diving also attracts people to the area. There are outlets in Callela and in Llafranc.
We have not investigated the nightlife to any extent; suffice to say that the streets of Calella and Llafranc are always mercifully quiet at night!
To conclude Tarongers at Calella offers something for everyone except those for whom clubbing is the cornerstone of the holiday. We would go back at any time.
