For scuba divers

Some of the most well-known dives in this area are Furió d’Aigua Xelida, famous for its moray eel and lobster populations, Gisbert cove and especially Ullastres, the best diving area outside the protected zones. Two miles out of Llafranc Port you can dive down to discover these three fabulous marine mountains. As these dives range from depths of 8 to 40 metres they are suitable for many levels of diving ability. When you are diving among the corridors, niches and walls, you are likely to find groupers, scorpion fish, moray eels and huge quantities of red gorgonians. All in all, a classic diving experience! 

And after your dive

Apart from walking around such iconic Costa Brava villages as Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu, make time to explore some of the coastal paths, which are suitable for everybody, and to visit the Cap Roig gardens, known for their swathes of multicoloured flowers and, in the summer season, the prestigious musical festival concerts. San Sebastià lighthouse is also well worth a visit for the spectacular views, and don’t forget the weekly market in Palafrugell town centre.
