Overview
Palamos is a charming port town nestled on Spain's stunning Costa Brava, a region known for its rugged coastline, secluded coves, and crystalline waters. The town has a rich history as a bustling fishing village, a heritage that remains a core part of its identity today. The deep bay of Palamos is one of the safest in the western Mediterranean, providing an ideal and beautiful setting for cruise ships to visit.
A stop in Palamos offers the perfect blend of a relaxed coastal atmosphere and a deep-rooted cultural experience. The town is famous for its world-renowned gastronomy, particularly the fresh, sweet Palamós prawns, and its role as a hub for exploring the art and history of Catalonia. The port is integrated directly into the town, allowing visitors to step ashore and immediately be immersed in the local life.
The Museu de la Pesca is a modern and engaging museum located right at the port. It provides a fascinating look into the history of fishing in the Costa Brava, from its traditional methods to its current challenges. The exhibits are interactive and a testament to the town's enduring connection to the sea.
Tip: The museum also offers tours of the fish auction (lonja) in the late afternoon, which is a lively and authentic local experience.
Palamos’s old town is a maze of narrow, cobblestone streets lined with historic buildings, quaint shops, and lively tapas bars. The port area is equally charming, with a working fishing fleet, colorful boats, and a promenade perfect for a leisurely walk with views of the bay.
Tip: Walk up to the Church of Santa Maria del Mar for a beautiful view of the town and harbor.
Right next to the port is Platja Gran de Palamos, the town's main beach. This expansive sandy beach is perfect for a relaxing swim in the clear Mediterranean waters, sunbathing, or a stroll along the beachfront promenade. A variety of bars and restaurants line the promenade.
Tip: For a more secluded beach experience, walk south to the beautiful cove of Cala de La Fosca.
The Camí de Ronda is a historic coastal path that traces the rugged coastline of the Costa Brava. A short hike from Palamos will lead you to stunning viewpoints and secluded coves that are inaccessible by car. It's the best way to experience the wild beauty of the region.
Tip: Even a short walk to the ruins of Castell de Sant Esteve de Mar offers fantastic views of the sea and the town.
Palamos is internationally recognized for its prawns, often called the "Gamba de Palamós." Many local restaurants specialize in this fresh delicacy. Be sure to try them simply grilled with a touch of salt to experience their exquisite, sweet flavor.
Tip: Look for restaurants that display the "Gamba de Palamós" brand seal to ensure you're getting the authentic local delicacy.
For art lovers, Palamos is a gateway to the famous Dali Theatre-Museum in Figueres. This world-renowned museum, created by Salvador Dalí himself, houses the largest collection of his work. It’s an iconic, surrealist masterpiece that is an absolute must-see and can be reached by car or a shore excursion.
Tip: Booking a private tour or cruise excursion is recommended to maximize your time in Figueres, which is about an hour's drive away.
