 Palamos is located on the Costa Brava, just 4 miles north
Platja d'Aro and 5 miles south of Palafrugell. Gerona is around
20 miles inland.
Palamos has a beautiful bay, popular
for swimming, sailing and windsurfing, yet it still maintains
a thriving fishing industry. There is a lively fish auction every
weekday afternoon. Palamos stands on a headland overlooking the
harbour and although the modern town has gradually extended along
the waterfront, its old quarter remains largely unaffected by
tourism. From the harbour, a palm-lined promenade leads around
a long, sandy beach, chosen as the venue for the Olympic sailing
competition in 1992. In the 19th century, Palamos was the main
export harbour for Cataluna’s cork industry and several
shops in the centre continue to sell cork artefacts.
