Calonge i Sant Antoni, Beach municipality in Baix Empordà, Costa Brava, Spain
Calonge i Sant Antoni is a municipality on the Costa Brava with two distinct parts: a medieval village inland and a coastal resort by the sea. Both sections sit close together and form a place where old settlement patterns meet modern beach tourism.
The area shows signs of human settlement from prehistoric times, with evidence from Roman periods and medieval village development. This long timeline reveals how the coastal location has always drawn people to live and work here.
The Neo-Gothic church of Saint Anthony, constructed in 1936, stands as a central religious structure in the coastal section of the municipality.
The municipality has several camping areas for visitors who prefer mobile accommodation. The flat coastal section is easy to explore on foot, and waterfront paths connect different parts of the area together.
A marked long-distance footpath runs along the seafront and links this municipality to neighboring towns on both sides. Walkers use this route to explore multiple coastal villages in a single day.
