1. A hidden treasure on the Costa Brava
Located between Cala Castell and Platja de la Fosca, Cala S’Alguer is a magical enclave that has preserved its essence over time. Its most characteristic feature is the white fishermen’s houses, with colored doors and windows, which contrast with the blue of the sea and the green of the pine forests that surround it.
This landscape, almost intact for centuries, is an example of the area’s fishing heritage and a perfect example of the harmony between man and nature.
But beyond its visual charm, what really makes Cala S’Alguer special is the tranquility that is breathed in its waters. Here there are no beach bars or large buildings, just the sound of the sea and the sea breeze.
2. Sail to Cala S’Alguer: an unforgettable experience
Although it can be reached on foot along a coastal path, the most special way to access Cala S’Alguer is from the sea. A boat rental on the Costa Brava will allow you to discover this corner in total comfort, avoiding tourist routes and enjoying the surroundings from a privileged perspective.
