Day 454 - 10/12/2014 : Palamós

Palamós is one of the main cities of Baix Empordà region and it's located at the northern end of a large bay, which is popular for swimming, sailing and windsurfing.

The town is by-passed by the C31 motorway which connects the coastal towns of the central Costa Brava with Girona. Palafrugell lies 8.5 km to the north and Castell-Platja d'Aro 7 km to the south.

The town is a major port (with the closure of Sant Feliu the only commercial harbour in the Province of Girona) with one of the last remaining fishing fleets on this part of the Mediterranean coast. It is famous for the locally caught prawns, in Catalan 'gambles', which are really appreciated by local and foreign people.

Would you like to taste a 'gambes' plate while looking to the Mediterranean? Come here !
