Yacht charter Palamós

Your yacht charter Palamós will take you to the center of the Costa Brava in Catalonia. If you like fish and seafood, this is the right place for you. The city is still strongly influenced by fishing and has the second largest fishing port in Catalonia. You can experience the bustling atmosphere on weekdays in the late afternoon at the quay, when the fishermen return to the port and sell their fresh catch here. Also, after a walk along the promenade, you can visit one of the many restaurants to taste the "Gambas of Palamós", which are known throughout Spain and are considered the best in the world. Also worth a visit is the town's fishing museum, an ode to the traditional profession and everything related to it.
The narrow streets of the old town offer the opportunity to stroll in the cool shade. Here one encounters various sights, such as the 15th century church of Santa Maria del Mar. It houses a small collection of sacred art and an altarpiece by the Dutch Isaac Vermey Hermes from the end of the 16th century. If you already want to enjoy the beach atmosphere, you will find the first opportunities in the city at Platja Gran or Platja Fosca.
The mountain range Les Gavarres stretches through the hinterland and attracts with well-developed hiking trails and mountain bike routes. Along the coast, for example, leads the GR 92, a Mediterranean coastal hiking trail along the Costa Brava, which offers beautiful views of the sea again and again. Variety is also offered by the Parc Aquatic Aquadiver. An adventure pool with slides and a large water playground.
The nearest airport to Palamós is near Girona (about 20 kilometers). You can also fly via Barcelona and combine the cruise with a city trip. From Barcelona airport and from Girona you can reach Palamós by bus or by car.

Costa Brava - crystal clear water in front of rugged rock formations

The coastline of the Costa Brava is predominantly characterized by the strongly rugged rock massifs, which drop steeply from the mountain ranges inland to the sea. Again and again you will find small bays with sandy beaches, which invite you to a stopover. Are you heading north on your yacht charter Palamós towards Cadaqués to discover the home of Salvador Dalí? Not far from the small fishing village on the Cap de Creus peninsula you can visit, for example, the home of the eccentric surrealist. The area around Cadaqués is also a very worthwhile destination for nature lovers, because the Cap de Creus is now a nature park. In front of the Cap there is a diving area with more than 20 diving spots, which are also protected, where the underwater world could recover. But not only passionate nature lovers will love the area. Platja Guillola invites you to snorkel with its pebbly bottom and crystal clear water.
For those who long for sandy beaches, the Costa Brava is by no means short of them. In the 15 km long bay Golf de Roses, there is a 4 km long section of fine sandy beach. Not only families with children feel comfortable here, but also water sports enthusiasts get their money's worth: water skiing, snorkeling, diving, jet skiing and windsurfing are just a few examples. Even a World Cup stage of the Professional Windsurfers Association is held here every year. The Illes Medes Natural Park offers a rich and varied diving spot. The islands themselves are protected and can only be admired from the yacht.
The small former fishing village of L'Estartit offers another nice stopover. It has been designated by the Catalan Tourism Authority as a particularly family-friendly destination, and its extensive coastline features paradisiacal beaches with clear water and gently sloping shores. The coastal road, which runs parallel to the beach, is lined with public parks, which also offer the little ones plenty of opportunities to play and freedom of movement. A special highlight for children between the ages of 4 and 10 is the Mini Beach Club. A facility specially designed to meet the needs of the little ones, which entices them with all kinds of amusements.

The metropolis Barcelona or dreamy fishing villages

If your yacht charter Palamós takes you southwards along the Costa Brava, then Blanes, the southernmost point of the Costa Brava, is only 20 nautical miles away. A stroll through the medieval old town is highly recommended. The town exudes typical Catalan flair with its numerous cafés and restaurants. Enjoy Arros Negre, rice with octopus and a sauce made from the ink of the octopus, and round it off with a Crema Catalana. Blanes offers two botanical gardens and every year at the end of July the "El Focs de Blanes" takes place. An international fireworks festival, which attracts thousands of visitors every year.

Further south, Barcelona is a cosmopolitan, vibrant city with a wide variety of experiences. The culinary selection is almost endless, as is the cultural offer. Countless museums, a colorful potpourri of musical events, many cafes and again and again architectural surprises - a day in Barcelona is many things, but certainly not boring.

So a yacht charter trip from Palamós offers a lot of diversion. On the coast there are good sailing conditions, which even less experienced sailors can easily master. The fascinating steep coast with its bizarre rock formations opens again and again into small bays with partly sandy sections, where families can enjoy a relaxing break.
