How to get to the beaches
en ? 'Most northern coves (Begur, Calella de Palafrugell) are best reached from Girona airport' : 'La mayoria de calas del norte (Begur, Calella de Palafrugell) se alcanzan mejor desde el aeropuerto de Girona', mientras que Tossa, Platja d'Aro y Lloret tienen transfer directo tambien desde Barcelona. En julio y agosto el aparcamiento de las calas pequenas se satura a media manana: llegar en transfer o muy temprano marca la diferencia. Consulta la guia de cada pueblo para ver rutas con precio orientativo.
Remember: in protected coves taking sand or rocks is not allowed, and in high season some restrict access to protect them.
