Cala s'Alguer

In 2004, the cove Cala s'Alguer that lies three kilometers northeast from Palamós was singled out from hundreds of coves in the Costa Brava and added to a list of places of national significance (Béns Culturals d'Interès Nacional).

The pueblo that formed here in the 16th century is still alive and well. Fishermen's huts, boat sheds, fishing nets laid out for drying and repair, fish pots — not much has changed in three hundred years, besides fresh coats of paint on fishers' houses.

Cala s'Alguer owes its unique cultural status not only to the town that has stood here for five centuries but also to its picturesque surroundings — a looming pine forest, a small cozy beach, and crystal clear Mediterranean waters.
