This house is in a great location. Close to the city center with its daily market (except Mondays), restaurants, shops and bars, but far enough away the nights are completely peaceful. We ate out mostly, but the kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook. The patio is a lovely space. We sat out one night sharing some wine of the region and looking at the stars.
We really liked the restaurant Gretel. Good tapas (tapes in Català but pronounced tapas still I think), nice beer selection (they even had two IPAs from the region!), good service and decent prices. Get there on the early side though. By 9 pm there wasn’t a table to be had! We also like the boardinghouse Pension Fonda for a drink. Absolutely adorable setting and busy, but not crazy busy. There was also a cute patio bar that was renting the Can Fina space for the summer that’s just steps from the house. No worries about noice though. We couldn’t hear anything and I’m a light sleeper.
Parking is a little tricky if you want to park right by the house. We always managed to find something close by though.
We rented bikes in town (Pedalling Parafrugell—15€ per day plus a 10% discount for renting more than theee days) and took some of the bike trails to Calella, Tamariu, Cap Roig Botanic Gardens, Palamós. Stop at the tourist office though, if you want to do this, and get a map of the trails. It’s still a bit tricky to find them.
In general I’d say this town is quieter and more family oriented than others we’ve visited. If you want discos and bares de copas—look elsewhere. If you want a cute, old house in a cute town with plenty of things to do and see as well as stunning coastline, bike paths and even pretty countryside, look no further.
