Going to Pals is like entering the past. It is a medieval town with a lot of charm. Unfortunately, summer is non-ideal with the heat and almost nowhere to shelter from the sun. There is a small tourist office, but not as much information on the town as I would have expected. The tower closes at 2 pm if you want to see it. Parking for non-residents is extremely difficult, and you need to ask for help in order to not get a very expensive fine. Overall, would definitely recommend, but very early or late in the day to avoid extreme heat and parking woes.

While staying in the wonderful medieval village of Peratallada we popped up the road to visit Pals, which is another beautiful medieval village. With its maze of narrow streets and fascinating buildings this really is a photogenic place, with a great photo opportunity around every corner. There are lots of very good tourist shops as well as cafes and Pals is well worth a visit.

Great little medieval village and well worth a visit. We were there in November so very few people about which was very pleasant as in Summer I presume it can get very crowded. A couple of hours well spent.

This is a really beautiful old village and well worth a visit.I'm sure it can get very crowded during the high season but we were there in September and fortunately there were few tourists around.
There are plenty of bars and restaurants and you will be spoilt for choice.
There is a free carpark just a five minute walk from the centre and there is also a useful tourist information centre.

Beautiful & charming medieval village. Well maintained medieval architecture. It is off season this month so restaurants or stores were closed. No souvenirs! It’s feels like a ghost town however, it’s always nice to have the place by ourselves, almost. All we can do is admire & take pictures. I preferred to have visited when the businesses are open. I heard there singing & dancing around summer time

Really beautiful medieval village with lots of history. Wish we had more time to explore. Take a walk around the town and have a cappucino in one of the cafes.

We went there expecting amazing sights but there weren't many and certainly not enough to spend much time there.
Nice area though.

Pals is a medieval town in Catalonia on the Costa Brava. Built between XI and XIII centuries. The town wall contains a 4 square towers dating back to IV century. The Gothic Quarter has been restored along with cobbled streets and facades with pointed arched windows. The town has it's share of shops & restaurants, all quite busy. An interesting place.

The village had organized a very nice animation at night and at times, quite scary. Wonderful village otherwise and a very beautiful church.

Its a very beautiful small medieval town. Very enjoyable to ramble around, plenty of small shops selling souvenirs, wine, clothes etc. There is also a few bars and restaurants.

oui c est tres touristique si possible à faire hors saison....
Beste,
Ik las dat er aan de voet van Pals een brocante markt is.
Is dat ook op dinsdag of op een andere dag?
Alvast bedankt voor het antwoord.
Met vriendelijke groeten.

Hi, We're visiting Palamos via a cruise ship. My walking is limited, so I think a short time in Pals is about all my legs will handle What are the options for getting to/from Pals. Is a taxi best? How much would it probably be? Any other options / alternatives? Public transport?

Hi George
I'm certainly no expert and don't know much about the routes but you could try looking at Sarfa bus company, they may run some but I'm not sure . Wishing you a wonderful cruise .Our family are doing Barcelona, then traveling to Llafranc for a family wedding (from England! ) end of August.
Enjoy your holiday and have fun!

Best day to visit to take in the real flavour and cultural sites without paying for a guided tour?

If you want it to be quieter arrive early or late / avoid weekends. No need for a guide. There is some useful TI info available about the region. It's a good idea to visit the other villages in the area too eg Sa Tuna, Begur etc.
