Beyond La Bisbal d’Empordà lies a hilly landscape embellished by a mosaic of crops, fortified farmhouses, Mediterranean roofs and medieval villages of great interest: narrow cobbled streets, porticoed squares, watchtowers and a complex system of walls in a land which, often, saw danger approach from the sea. The municipality of Forallac features a number of them.
The largest is Peratallada, which stands on bare rock carved into deep trenches on three precincts to protect the castle and the palace. The old narrow streets lead to the Plaça Major, a beautiful porticoed square lined with good restaurants. Vulpellac has a remarkable Gothic-Renaissance palace and Romanesque Church of Canapost, featuring an extraordinary necropolis. Sant Julià de Boada, Palau-sator, Cruïlles, Sant Sadurní de l’Heura and Monells are medieval villages with porticoed squares and sober churches.
A hiking trail connecting the villages allows walkers to savour the picturesque landscape that Josep Pla, one of the finest writers to have written on the Costa Brava, christened the “Empordanet”
