Why go

North of Barcelona the package-holiday coast gives way to pine-backed coves, whitewashed fishing villages and roads that switchback between them. String together Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu, walk sections of the camí de ronda coastal path between swims, and detour inland to Dalí's surreal museum at Figueres. June and September deliver warm sea without the August squeeze; order arroz negro at a beachfront chiringuito.
