2. Wine Tasting and Vineyard Visits in DO Empordà
Autumn is the perfect time for a wine getaway, and from Hotel Bell Repòs, we recommend discovering the wineries of the Denomination of Origin Empordà, where you can enjoy local wines and stunning landscapes.
Just a few minutes from Platja d’Aro, you can discover vineyards like Clos d’Agon, in the historic farmhouse Mas Gil, where the winemaking tradition dates back to the 15th century; Celler Mas Eugeni, which offers an authentic experience among vineyards and tastings of DO Empordà wines; and Celler Vi(o)ritme in Castell d’Aro, known for its organic production.
Visiting these local vineyards will allow you to not only taste unique wines but also learn about Catalan winemaking tradition from experts.
3. The Castanyada
Autumn in Catalonia is not complete without celebrating the Castanyada, a traditional festival celebrated on November 1, coinciding with All Saints’ Day. During this festivity, it is typical to eat roasted chestnuts, panellets, sweet potatoes, and drink muscatel.
4. Hiking Routes along the Coastal Paths
The coastal paths of the Costa Brava are one of the best ways to discover the natural beauty of the area, and autumn is the perfect time to hike without the summer heat. From Platja d’Aro, we propose several routes that will allow you to enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, hidden coves, and cliffs.
You can find the Coastal Path that goes from Platja d’Aro to Sant Antoni de Calonge, the stretch that connects Platja d’Aro with S’Agaró, highlighting the famous “Mirador de S’Agaró” or the route from La Fosca to Platja del Castell. You can also explore the path from Platja del Castell to Calella de Palafrugell.
