The best hotels to enjoy the Cap Roig Festival
After a year of lockdowns and restrictions, we were looking forward to regaining some normality. Enjoy getaways and walks outdoors, snacks and meals with friends and, above all, cultural events such as the Cap Roig Festival. One of the most important musical events in Catalonia and, possibly, one of the most notable on the peninsula.
This year it celebrates its edition with luxury guests. Ara Malikian, Raphael, David Bisbal, Manel, Silvia Pérez Cruz and Els Amics de les Arts are some of the artists who, from July 23 to August 21, will show us their latest works at the Cap Roig Botanical Garden. The perfect excuse to come to Calella de Palafrugell and be surprised by the landscapes, beaches and gastronomy of this Empordà town.
Have you already bought your tickets for the Cap Roig Festival? If you want your getaway to be unforgettable, you should choose a hotel that lives up to this celebration. Here, our suggestions:
Hotel Alga
Located on one of the main avenues of Calella de Palafrugell and just 200 meters from one of its best-known beaches, Port Bo, we find the Hotel Alga. The reasons to stay there are many and varied. To start, their rooms. Comfortable and carefully decorated rooms so you can enjoy a restful sleep after a day at the beach, an afternoon of golf or a concert at the Cap Roig Festival.
His garden is another reason. More than 7,000 m² of vegetation with all the facilities so that adults and children do not have time to get bored: children's area, paddle tennis court, gym and two outdoor pools to cool off on hot summer days. A paradise for lovers of tranquility and for those who want to combine rest with body worship.
And finally, its restaurant: El Càntir de Calella de Palafrugell. A space headed by chef Pere Malagelada that successfully fuses traditional Catalan cuisine with the most modern gastronomic techniques. His menu, original and varied, has proposals specially designed for the little ones.
Hotel Garbi
The garden of the Hotel Garbí will leave you speechless. More than 9,000 m² of trees, flowers and grass where you can breathe peace and tranquility and connect with nature.
Its rooms, decorated in a warm and welcoming way, are designed so that you can say goodbye to stress and obligations and recover the hours of sleep lost during the year. There are some with sea views, with windows to the garden and two floors so you can share your holidays with the whole family.
And if in addition to resting you want to have fun and get in shape, Hotel Garbí makes it very easy for you. It has a swimming pool and a bath with hydromassage to cool off in summer, a playground for the little ones to have fun, spectacular beaches for you to enjoy the Mediterranean and the best golf courses half an hour away so you can practice your swing.
It also has a restaurant as authentic as its surroundings: the Caliu de Calella de Palafrugell. A space that draws on Empordà cuisine and is the perfect stop before going to the Cap Roig Festival.
Hotel Sant Roc
Five minutes from Hotel Garbí, on top of a cliff, is this small hotel. A space as incredible as its views of the bay and the town of Calella de Palafrugell. A town with a fishing tradition that has known how to adapt to new times without forgetting its culture, its traditions and its environment. Just like the Hotel Sant Roc.
Decorated with period furniture and equipped with the comforts of the 21st century, it invites us to relax and enjoy the pleasures that Calella offers us: beaches and coves with crystal-clear water, cycling routes in the middle of nature, cultural events such as the Cap Festival. Roig and gastronomy with a Mediterranean essence.
There are many restaurants to discover the cuisine of the area, but, without a doubt, Balcó de Calella is one of the best options. Without leaving the hotel, with the Mediterranean Sea as a setting and with author proposals capable of awakening the five senses.
