The inspiring autumn of Calella de Palafrugell

Calella de Palafrugell is one of the coastal districts of Palafrugell, located on the Costa Brava, a picturesque town.

It still preserves the old charm of the towns in the area before the arrival of mass tourism, as seen in this autumn photograph with the boats resting on the sand.

Calella de Palafrugell is known for the conservation of its beaches and the preservation of its rural areas on the outskirts. Its small coves stand out, along with another coastal and tourist center like Llafranc.

The image conveys calm to us on one of these days this fall when the weather is being milder than usual. The sea seems serene and invites you to sit down and contemplate it without rushing.

So much so that I have decided to accompany this photograph with these verses in Catalan written by the poet Felícia Fuster:

Every time

that I bite life

the sky rises

Far away, it turns green.

he loves me

for hearts and for tartares.
