The old towns of Palamós and Sant Joan
Palamós, founded in 1279 to defend its royal harbor, was born as a stronghold, and did not acquire a fully urban character until the 19th century. Violent raids, such as those suffered by the forces of the Turkish pirate Barba-rossa in 1543, and the pressure to withstand the continued presence of troops of different flags, could only allow for slow economic and demographic growth . From the seventies, the tourist dimension of the port marks and pushes a new and fruitful economic activity. The urban fabric of Palamós is formed from the old town, the industrial extension, the town of Sant Joan, the coast and the farmhouses. On the other hand, the old layout of the town of Sant Joan starts with the neighborhood of farmer's houses and artisan houses around the square and the church. The annexation of Sant Joan de Palamós to the municipal district took place in 1942.

Sightseeing
The port of Palamós evokes a history of French, Turkish, English or Italian, always seafaring resonances, which tells us about the origins and evolution of the town, in times of great splendor. Currently the port of Palamós is the sea port of the counties of Girona and is the third most important port of all Catalonia in commercial, fishing, tourist and cultural dimension. The main product of fishing in Palamós is the prized red shrimp (Aristeus antennatus), which a specialized fleet of boats brings to the fish market daily. The Fishermen's Association of Palamós and the City Council of Palamós promote the Gamba de Palamós Guarantee Mark to ensure the origin, traceability and quality of the product, from the boat to the final consumer.

La fosca
Surrounding the coast to the east in the direction of Calella de Palafrugell we can enjoy the coastal path that leaves the Gran de Palamós beach. We climb to the Pedró and cross the Marina Marina and Margarita cove we reach the beach of La Fosca, facing southeast and characterized by its black rock that divides the beach in two halves. If we continue along the roundabout path we find the Sant Esteve de Mar Castle, a history of the origins of Palamós from the 12th-13th centuries. Further on, from the Gori pine forest, we can see the picturesque houses of Cala S'Alguer, a Cultural Asset of National Interest, old fishermen's huts from the 15th century. Then we arrive at Platja de Castell, a natural space that has been isolated and has conserved, by popular will, the most crude cleanliness of the landscape. The Iberian settlement of Castell allows us to get closer to the archeological remains of the Iberian site (6th century BC until the 2nd century AD). And among the cliffs, the Foradada, pure Costa Brava that delves into its magic, crossing wonderful coves; Senià cove, Canyers cove with its fountain of the sea, Corbs cove and Estreta cove, until the end of Planes.
