About Calella de Palafrugell

One of the Costa Brava's most enchanting coastal villages, Calella de Palafrugell has somehow managed to preserve its authentic fishing village charm despite its location on one of Spain's most popular coastlines. With whitewashed houses, narrow streets tumbling down to a series of perfect small coves, and traditional fishing boats pulled up on the sand, it offers a glimpse of Mediterranean life before mass tourism. The annual Habaneras singing festival in July is a unique cultural highlight.

Top Attractions in Calella de Palafrugell

Cap Roig Botanical Garden

Terraced down a hillside to the Mediterranean Sea, these spectacular botanical gardens combine natural beauty with artistic heritage. Created in 1927 by Russian colonel Nikolai Woevodsky and English aristocrat Dorothy Webster, the gardens feature over 1,000 plant species set against dramatic sea views. The historic castle at the top hosts the prestigious Cap Roig Festival each summer, where international music stars perform in an open-air auditorium with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. The combination of lush Mediterranean vegetation, sculpture collection, and breathtaking coastal vistas makes it one of the most beautiful gardens in Spain.
