Calonge

To the south of Palamós, Sant Antoni de Calonge is now a large tourist resort and, moving inland, the town of Calonge has an interesting medieval castle.

Moving south from Palamós, the camí de ronda path brings hikers through emblematic spots (such as the Torre Valentina beach) to Platja d’Aro, a town on a two-kilometre stretch of beach which has become a major seaside resort.
