Southwest of Bagur, reached either on the direct road or via Regencós, is the little town of Palafrugell (alt. 65m/215ft), which along with the adjoining resorts of Llafranch, Tamariu and Calella de Palafrugell constitutes one of the major tourist centers on the Costa Brava, with a series of fine beaches. Palafrugell itself has the Gothic church of San Martín, with a 17th century retablo, and remains of its old town walls.
Cap Roig Botanic Garden was created by Col. and Madame de Woevodsky in 1924, they planted 40ha with pines, built a castle and laid out the garden. The achievement of the garden is the skillful weaving of exquisitely-designed terraces and exotic planting into the woodland framework.
