Pals is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Catalonia. A village which simply takes you back in time, the Gothic stone houses situated around a 15th century castle has been restored to its former glory, walk under archways around the narrow cobbled streets and corners where each turn will provide you with a great photo opportunity. Aswell as the castle walls there is church and tower to view, along with stunning views of Platja de Pals, a long sandy beach 5km away and views of the Illes Medes near L’Estartit.

Depending on the time of year the streets can be deserted and only the odd cat roams the streets. However in peak tourist months, June , July, August it can become very busy therefore it is recommended early morning or evenings are the best time to visit during these months. There is ample parking at the bottom of the hill (in the newer section of Pals).

Pals is a great day trip, and walking around the medieval section can take a good couple of hours, even longer if you take a look through some of the toursit shops which include galleries and pottery and restuarants situated around the narrow stone streets.
