Mediterranean Coast Tour of Spain ~ Girona (Region)

A historic town with several prehistoric funeral monuments. In the earliest times, Palagrugell was an important settlement. The archaeological site at Plaça del Palol also provides evidence of Roman presence in the village. The roots of modern-day Palagrugell can be traced back to the Middle Ages, centered around the 11th-century Santa Maria Church. During this period, the construction of the Benedormiens Castle began, which is also the origin of the Castle of Aro. This ancient fortress was destroyed in the 19th century, leaving almost no remains. You can also explore the nearby mountainous areas and the coastline of Costa Brava. Of course, you can enjoy the small coves and long sandy beaches, where water sports are available.
