The port of Palamós on the Costa Brava is a witness to a rich maritime history, an engine of the local economy and a hub for culture and tourism. Its importance extends locally, regionally and internationally, making it an integral part of the town of Palamós and its surroundings.

Historically, the port of Palamós has played a central role in maritime trade since the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Iberian Peninsula made it an important hub for trade routes between the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe. Over the centuries, it became a hub for the export of agricultural products from the region and the import of goods from distant lands. This economic activity contributed to the development and prosperity of the local population.

In modern times, the port of Palamós has developed into a versatile maritime center that serves both commercial and tourist purposes. It is home to an important fishing fleet known for its high-quality seafood, especially the Palamós prawns, which are highly prized by gourmets. This fishing tradition, passed down from generation to generation, is at the heart of the local culture and cuisine, making the port a vibrant place of culinary discovery.

In addition to its economic role, the port of Palamós is also a popular destination for nautical tourism. With its modern facilities, it attracts sailors and yacht owners from all over the world. Its proximity to the picturesque bays of the Costa Brava and its excellent services make it a preferred starting point for maritime adventures along the Spanish coast.

In addition, the port has established itself as an important port of call for cruise ships in recent years, putting Palamós on the international tourist map. This development has promoted cultural exchange and given new impetus to the local economy by attracting visitors from all over the world who want to discover the historical, cultural and natural treasures of the region.

The port of Palamós is thus symbolic of the combination of tradition and modernity, of local identity and global openness. It is the beating heart of the municipality, shaping the lifestyle, economy and culture of Palamós and the Costa Brava.
