Why go
The walled quarter offers close architectural detail: cobbled streets, arches, pointed windows and stone balconies. Its elevated setting also connects the town visually with the Empordà plain. Beyond the centre, the rice-growing landscape and Basses d’en Coll give a different reason to explore, linking local food with wetlands and dunes.
What to look for
- Torre de les Hores is the Romanesque clock tower in the old centre.
- The Josep Pla viewpoint looks across the Empordà fields towards the Medes Islands.
- Plaça Major and Sant Pere church anchor the historic quarter.
Useful to know
- Wear shoes suited to the old quarter’s cobbled streets.
- Choose the hilltop centre, Platja de Pals or Basses d’en Coll as separate stops when planning your route.
