Back to the past in two Medieval cities

Pals and Peratallada are two stunning medivial cities on the Costa Brava.
I had a preference for Pals which is smaller with paths going up and down, more fun to walk around with a great ice cream shop and many souvenirs shops, tapas restaurants.
Peratallada was more deserted. Almost like a ghost town, only the entrance was animated with terraces and restaurants but the city is also very enchanting.

Here are pics of Pals





































Cute moto helmets for sale, and more jamon (ham) & charcuterie shop





Now here are pics of Peratallada











Me with my Balenciaga charbon besace, my new travel buddy and the envirosax i got a few weeks ago, the stripes are very colorful.




























An unusual restaurant hidden in a small street, love the mix of different sofas.

Balade in the rice fields

In Pals, a town famous for its rice culture, there is a circuit where people can bike or have a long walk for about one hour among rice fields. The scenery was truly pretty & relaxing, there is a mirador where people can spot several species of birds. This Spanish rice, arroz de Pals, is rounder than normal rice, quite similar to the arborio risotto's shape, this arroz is delicious for making paellas.

A charming town on the Costa Brava

It's incredible that the weather here is so nice and warm even at the end of august. I love this small town by the sea called Calella de Palafrugell, beautiful beaches, fishes of all kinds when snorkling and the food here is just the best ever for those who love fruits, seafood and sausages.




































My favorite dish here, la paella marinera.




Ugly fish ever... But they say that it's really delicious!
