25. Calella de Palafrugell, Costa Brava: Coves and Habaneras

Embodying the idyllic charm of the Costa Brava before mass tourism, Calella de Palafrugell is a former fishing village known for its whitewashed houses, intimate rocky coves (calas), and turquoise waters. Stroll along the coastal path connecting its small beaches, enjoy fresh seafood at seaside restaurants, and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. It’s particularly famous for its annual summer Habaneras festival, where crowds gather on the beach to listen to traditional sea shanties under the stars – a truly magical, local experience.
