Pals

Today I will introduce to you a medieval Catalan city, Pals.

The city lays in northern Spain a few kilometers from the sea in the heart of the Bay of Emporda on the Costa Brava.

Pals has a historic centre on a hill surrounded by plains with a medieval Romanesque tower built between the 11th and 13th centuries, known as the Torre de les Hores (Tower of the Hours).

The Gothic Quarter of the town has been substantially restored and there are cobbled streets interrupted by semicircular arches, façades with pointed arched windows and stone balconies.

The town wall contains four square towers which date from the 4th century.

Don´t miss the Josep Pla viewpont.

The city also has an Underwater Archaeological Museum.

Yes, you´re right. You must definitely visit this city. Especially, because National Geographic chosen this city as one of the best trips from 2012.
