Eating:
There are plenty of excellent opportunities for wining and dining. From Monday to Friday it is possible to have a good midday meal for 9 to 15 Euros, this is generally a three course meal (often 3 different choices for each course) and sometimes includes not only bread, but water, wine and coffee too. Midday meals are from 13:00 h until 15:30 h and evening dining begins at 20:00 h. Many restaurants are non-smoking, but one has to check at the door. Palamos has a variety of very good restaurants, bars and tapas bars (Moni's tapasbar!!). Also along the sea front at Sant Antoni there is a good selection of restaurants where one can sit outside; even an Irish pub for those who miss their Guinness. Playa d'Aro also has some good restaurants, as well as the usual fast food: pizza and burgers etc. Shopping-eating at home; there is a good super market in Calonge and others are 1 to 2 km further down the road; there are also daily markets, which rotate from town to town.
Places of Interest:
