Far de Sant Sebastià, Jardines de Cap Roig, Llafranc y Calella de Palafrugell, Sat, Sep 9, 2023, 8:3...

Discover the famous Far de Sant Sebastià, visit the majestic Jardins de Cap Roig, stroll through Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc, and walk along the spectacular coastal path that connects both towns (easy, short, and flat)

FAR DE SANT SEBASTIÀ

The Far de Sant Sebastià, one of the most beautiful lighthouses on the Catalan coast, stands on a 170-meter high cliff in a rugged corner of the Costa Brava where the sea is the true protagonist, offering fabulous views from its terrace viewpoint. The lighthouse takes its name from the neighboring Llafranc lighthouse and the 18th-century Sant Sebastià hermitage.

CAP ROIG BOTANICAL GARDEN

In 1927, Russian Colonel Nicolás Woevodsky and English aristocrat Dorothy Webster bought land in Cap Roig to fulfill their dream: to build a castle hanging on a cliff over the Mediterranean and surrounded by an idyllic botanical garden that overlooks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Costa Brava.

CALELLA DE PALAFRUGELL AND LLAFRANC

Calella de Palafrugell, an old fishing village, is one of the most beautiful and charming "towns" on the Costa Brava. Located on a rocky coast, formed by small coves, north of the natural area of Castell - Cap Roig, Calella de Palafrugell is known for the annual Habaneras gathering that takes place on Port Bo beach and for the famous and exclusive music festival held every summer in the Cap Roig Gardens.
