Where we are
Only 5 minutes from the village of Pals and 5 minutes from the beach, we are in a small neighbourhood away from the noise of the road and a stone’s throw from the forest.
Location
Can Costals is located in the municipality of Pals, in the Baix Empordà region and on the magnificent Costa Brava (a short distance from the Montgrí Natural Park, the Medes Islands and the Baix Ter). Here you will find routes through the forest, visits to natural parks, routes through medieval villages, endless beaches and hidden coves, footpaths and restaurants with typical local dishes.
Pals, surrounded by nature, offers an idyllic landscape full of contrasts, light and colour. Any time of the year is perfect for its sunsets, the flowered fields, the colours of the sea…
Beaches with dunes, rice fields, a natural park and a town with a lot of medieval charm
The town of Pals is located between the Gavarres and the Montgrí mountains, surrounded by rice fields and its beaches with dunes touching the sea.
Near the beach, you can visit Les Basses d’en Coll, Nature Reserve and take routes through the area, both on foot and by bicycle.
Visiting the old town is like a trip to the medieval past, the walled enclosure, its narrow cobbled streets, the arches and old houses, the Gothic Church and the Romanesque tower are a must.
Entre la gastronomía de Pals no pueden faltar los platos estrella cocinados con arroz. Aunque también encontraréis platos cocinados con productos de proximidad y una oferta gastronómica muy amplia y para todos los gustos.
Can Costals is within the Xarxa Natura 2000.

Pals is attached to the Cittaslow movement.
Ser municipio slow, va más allá de ser un municipio tranquilo. Implica tener interiorizadas una serie de rasgos intangibles basados en una filosofía que impregna todos los rincones del territorio; implica una forma peculiar de ver y vivir la vida a favor de los vecinos de Pals que lucha por preservar, día tras día, el entrono paisagístico, las costumbres y les tradiciones más arraigadas, la gastronomía autóctona, los productos locales… sin barrar el paso al progreso ni a las nuevas tecnologías.
