Cap Roig castle
This medieval castle was built in 1931 by Nicholas Woevodski, a Russian officer who left his country after the 1917 revolution. He and his wife, the British Dorothy Webster, planned every detail of the building's construction and decorated its interiors.
The life and customs of Nicholas and Dorothy in their new residence in the Cap Roig castle in Calella de Palafrugell, brought about some novelties in the local toponomy that still remain today. There's "el camí del rus", or "la banyera de la russa", a small spot by the sea near the castle where Dorothy used to bathe.
This couple was also the driving force behind the creation of the Cap Roig garden, which cover an area of 20 hectares and are home to more than 800 botanical species.

Calella de Palafrugell is one of the few towns on the Costa Brava that still conserves part of the appearance it had before the arrival of tourism. The cobbled pavements, the narrow streets and the typical fishermen's houses located on the seafront are some of the elements that make up the personality of Calella.
It's a culturally very lively town, with two very important annual events: the Cap Roig Festival held in the Cap Roig Botanical Garden, and the "Havaneres" concert, which is usually held at the beginning of July in the charming square of Port Bo.
