Cala s'Alguer, Protected beach and historic fishing settlement in Palamós, Spain
The cove extends 66 meters in length and 19 meters in width, featuring a mix of coarse sand and pebbles alongside traditional white houses with colored doors.
Dating from the 16th century, this coastal settlement evolved from basic fishing huts to a protected cultural site, receiving national recognition status in 1972.
The collection of fishermen houses represents vernacular architecture, maintaining the traditional building methods and materials of the Costa Brava region.
Visitors need to park 300 meters away and walk along the coastal path, as direct vehicle access to the cove is not permitted.
The site combines both a natural beach formation and a historical settlement, with structures still maintaining their original fishing village configuration.
