| L'església de Sant Esteve | The town of Peratallada | A typical square and street of the Town | ||
Six kilometers west of Pals stands the medieval town of Peratallada (or Peretallada). It's name derives from perda tallada, meaning 'hewn stone' - the stone used to build the houses was carved out of rock.
The town has preserved it's rustic atmosphere but has also retained a zest for life in it's labyrinth of narrow streets and squares. The old town centre is dominated by Peratallada Castle with it's walled enclosure. Within this there are various towers, and one in particular dominates the skyline of the town for it's sheer size and presence.
The restaurants of the Castell de Peratallada hotel have a fine reputation for excellent Emporda cuisine, but the food and wines are quite expensive. One is spoilt for choice of restaurant within the town - many with wonderful settings and serving good value, Catalan food. La Riera, El Boirinot, L'Arc Vell and Carnou are just a few.
Peratallada is the ideal base for exploring the Baix Emporda region and Catalonia as a whole. There are a good selection of hotels within the old town, with self-catering Apartments and villas spread around the outlying area.
