Cala s'Alguer, cultural property in Palamós, Spain
Cala s'Alguer is a protected cove on the coast of Palamós with traditional fishing houses that stretch about 66 meters along the shore. The beach consists of coarse sand and pebbles and is surrounded by whitewashed houses with colored doors.
The settlement began in the 16th century as simple fishing huts and developed into a permanent community. In 1972, the site received the status of a protected cultural heritage site of national importance.
The white houses with colored doors reflect the traditional building style of the Costa Brava and show how fishermen once lived along this coast. Walking through, you can see the old construction methods and materials that still define this settlement.
Visitors must park their cars about 300 meters away and walk along a coastal path, as vehicles cannot drive directly to the cove. The walking route is easy to manage and runs right along the shoreline.
The houses remain in their original arrangement as a fishing village, though most now serve as residences or small businesses. This blend of historic structure and modern use makes the site particularly interesting for visitors.
