Tamariu, Girona
A Fisherman’s Cove
One of the three coastal towns in the municipality of Palafrugell, the cove of Tamariu is part of the Costa Brava region in the province of Girona, northeastern Catalonia. Tamariu depicts the classic Costa Brava look of rugged cliffs covered in pine trees that abruptly cascade to meet the clear, deep blue Mediterranean waters filled with gorgonian coral reefs, seagrass beds, and diverse fauna.
