Calella de Palafrugell has a very rich and well-preserved sea bed. Few kilometers from the Calella's coast, we can find the Illes Formigues (the Isles of the Ants), a place where several ships wrecked in ancient times.  

If you enjoy diving, we recommend you the Poseidon Nemrod Diving Club, placed in the beach Port Pelegrí.

GAROINES (Sea Urchins)

From January to March, many restaurants in Palafrugell prepare several delicious dishes using sea urchins as the main ingredient. However, if you do not like cooking but want to try our garoines, you can eat them raw on a slice of bread with botifarra negra (black pork sausage).

DRINKING CREMAT ON THE BEACH 

 The cremat is a very typical sailor's drink in the Costa Brava. It is a mixture of rum and coffee, which is flamed until it gains its special aroma and becomes alcohol-free.

One of the most surprising Catalan specialties is Pa amb Tomàquet. This dish is as tasty as easy to prepare. You only need some bread, tomatoes, olive oil and salt. Spread the pulp of the tomato on a slice of bread, pour as much olive oil as you like, add some salt and Bon Profit! (as we say in Catalan, Have a nice meal!)

You can also accompany this dish with a good Manchego cheese or Spanish ham.
