Pals

A restored medieval hill village with a long dune-backed beach below.

Costa Brava · Girona

Pals is a golden-stone medieval village of arches, stone stairways and a Romanesque tower, restored painstakingly through the twentieth century.

Four kilometres away, Platja de Pals is one of the longest and least built-up beaches on the Costa Brava, backed by dunes and rice fields.

Pals sits on the Costa Brava in the province of Girona.
