Medieval villages of the Empordà I: walk from Peratallada to Pals

• Past Excursions

DATE: February 5 at 8.30h

Enjoy a very pleasant and flat 9km walk through the interior of the Empordà, the Catalan Tuscany, and visit with an official guide three of the most beautiful medieval villages in Catalonia: Peratallada, Palau-sator and Pals.

PERATALLADA
Peratallada is probably the best preserved medieval village in the whole of Baix Empordà. Declared a Historic-Artistic Site for the enormous architectural wealth it preserves, strolling through its cobbled and flower-filled streets is a pleasure for the senses.

PALAU-SATOR
Palau-Sator is another medieval village of feudal urban fabric, with small streets of medieval origin that seem to have been frozen in time.

PALS
Pals is undoubtedly the most famous and touristic medieval village of the beautiful Empordà. Dominated by the Torre de les Hores, the medieval quarter of Pals offers one of the best panoramic views of this area of the Costa Brava.
