Hotel Ancora is in Palamós
Palamos is located in the northern part of the bay which takes its name. This bay is frequently place for sailing, swimming and windsurfing, among other water activities.
Cork and fishing have been traditionally the main economic activities in the village, at least until the second half of the twentieth century. In fact, today, the fishing remains a major activity, as its port, around which develops an intense activity, remains the largest fish market on the Costa Brava.
Palamós lives and breathes fishing. Situated in a wide bay, it is the leading fishing port on the Costa Brava. Regattas, the procession of boats in honour of La Mare de Déu del Carme (patron saint of fishermen) and the famous shrimp pay tribute to this fishing capital.
On a headland overlooking two large ports (a marina and fishing port), stands the old quarter completed by the Punta del Molí where the lighthouse is located. Visitors should not miss the fish market (La Llotja) where barges and boats come in to auction their day’s catch, and the Fishing Museum, the only one of its kind in Catalonia.
Palamós has a very interesting historical center: the church of Santa Maria, in late Gothic style. Its door are from the XIIth and XVth centuries. On the other hand, the village has a very advanced tourism infrastructure, with a large range of restaurants, bars, yacht clubs, theaters and hotels.
Around Palamós you’ll find some of the best beaches on the Costa Brava. Among them, the most remarkable is Es Castell, at north, a virgin beach that, in the 90's, thanks to opposition from the local platform "Salvem Es Castell" forced a referendum in the village. From that democratic decision Es Castell still remains a virgin this place, not threatened by urban development. On the left side of the beach you will also find an outdoor archeological Iberian settlement, just on a promontory above the sea, in a privileged position.
From Es Castell begins to the south a beautiful coastal path that leads to other beaches of great beauty on the Costa Brava center: Cala Margarida, S'Alguer and la Fosca, a beautiful and wide beach with a great black rock just in the middle.
The vitality and cultural tourism is enormous in this friendly city, so that those interested in its offer will should go to the tourist office and join the guided tours that are organized in order to spread the history and curiosities of Palamós.

Decent hotel. Good breakfast. Free wifi. Nice local beach 600yds away. 20min drive to Llafranc, Tamariu or Callela de Parafrugell. Long walk into town. Wouldn't want to be here without a car. |

The hotel is ideally located a couple of streets back from the beach in a quiet street. We were there for 3 nights to relax on the beach and the hotel was ideal for this. The room wasn't very big but fine for a few nights. The shower was great, it's over a bath. There was plenty of hot water. We had a balcony which looked out over the street towards the sea but we couldn't see the ocean. There is plenty of parking. The beds are quiet hard. There is air conditioning but it isn't very effective. The walls are thin and with the balcony doors open you can hear people in the rooms next door. |

Personal amable y servicial Ubicado en la playa de la fosca pero no en primera línea de mar. Habitaciones bastante sencillas. Hotel sin insonorización que dificulta poder dormir (portazo cada vez que se cierra una puerta de una habitación, se oyen todo tipo de ruidos de las habitaciones de los lados) y eso que era temporada baja... |

Qualité d’accueil, une présence discrète et efficace de tout le personnel: de la direction, de salle, de nettoyage. Découverte gastronomique simple pleine de saveurs méditerranéennes appréciée en vacances avec beaucoup de poissons. Certains clients; espagnoles et français, ayant comme points communs: des enfants et un non respect de l'autre bien enseigné à leurs progénitures. |
