One of the great attractions of Peratallada lies in having preserved its rural character, faithfully keeping its architectural and urbanistic origins and, at the same time, offering the visitor an attractive selection of artisan work and gastronomy which, with supreme quality, emanates from the deepest roots which have given this unique character to L’Emporda.

The town still has its medieval urban layout, from the Placa Major (Main Square), with its unusual arches, to the section of narrow streets where we can find an attractive complex of popular architecture. All this architecture's elements will enjoy your walking all the time.

La Riera Hostal Restaurant: Medieval Village
imcarthur Says: We were there off season in April. This small inn - run by a husband/wife team - was perfect. Most of the other hotels & restaurants were closed. The village is made of stone with some very rutted roads. We used it as a base to explore the area - La Bisba for pottery -...

Unfortunately I forgot its title, but this restaurant is in the centre of Peratallada, not far from the Placa Major. The tastiest paella with fish I ate there.
Favorite Dish: Don’t miss to try traditional Catalonian white bred with tomatoes.

In the main square (Placa Major) of Peratallada is a marketplace since ancient times. Nowadays it is possible to buy or sell goods every weekend. Local people from Pals and nearest towns go there at 16.00 and market starts.

Favorite thing: Peratallada is a rural village part of the municipality of Forallac, in the county of Baix Empordà, in the inland of the Costa Brava.
Its name origin is from pedra tallada, meaning in old Catalan 'carved stone'. Most of the buildings are built from stone carved from the moat which still encircles the north and west parts of this fortified medieval village. The Castle of Peratallada is the main structure in the center of the town, with its highest point, the Homage tower. The castle has been documented as early as 1065 AD and it was restored as a luxury hotel in the 1960s. Nowadays the castle, privately-own, is closed.
The 13th century Romanesque church dedicated to Sant Esteve (Saint Stephen) is outside the fortified walls.
Peratallada is known for its old stone buildings and rutted stone streets and passageways and its numerous restaurants.
There is a medieval festival in the fall, the first weekend of October.
The village is worth a visit. Avoid August, Easter and 11th September weekends if you don't like crowds and note than in January, part bof February most restaurants are closed.
