Car Hire in Palamos

At GANXO Rent a Car, we recommend a series of essential elements to visit in Palamós with your hire car.

The old quarters of Palamós and San Juan are the origin of where the town was initially formed. In its streets, years ago, the population suffered military disputes or pirate attacks. Here you will find the Church of Santa Maria, the Church of Santa Eugenia and the Chapel of El Carme, among other emblematic buildings.

The port and fishing are a symbol of the town. The port and fishing are a symbol of Palamós. The port has a cultural, tourist, fishing and commercial dimension. It is the maritime gateway to the province of Girona after becoming a port of entry to Schengen. For this reason, don't forget to take your hire car and visit the Fishing Museum, the Fish Market and the Fish Market.

The area of Castell is an emblematic area of Palamós where we can find beaches that are authentic Mediterranean scenery, such as Cala Margarita, Cala del Morro del Vedell or La Fosca. You can reach all of them on foot or, if you do not wish to do so, with your hire car, so that you can also visit the castle of San Esteve de Mar and La Cala S'Alguer, a neighbourhood of fishermen's huts where, in the 15th century, they sheltered among their utensils.

We also highlight Cala Estreta, a shallow sandy beach, recognised as one of the most important coves on the Costa Brava and at the same time part of a natural area of interest. It is ideal to take a hire car to drive to them and enjoy the natural beauty they offer.

The territory of Bell-Lloc, in the midst of the Gavarres, has unpublished sites such as the famous Vila-Romà Castle, dating from before the 13th century, which in 1812 was destroyed by the French army as it was retreating from the area. The area is quite remote from Palamós and is not served by public transport, so you will definitely need to hire a car in Palamós to make the most of your stay.

The town's viewpoints are places that offer panoramic views of Palamós. Renting a car will help you to complete all the viewpoints.

At Ganxó Rent a Car, we recommend those located in La Plaza Murada, which offers views of the entire port of Palamós, then La Punta del Muelle Nuevo and El Faro, from where you can enjoy the entire bay of Palamós with views of the Gavarras mountains. If you are an early riser, we recommend the sunsets at 6:30 in the morning, where you will see how all the fishing boats leave the port of Palamós together. Make up your mind, renting a car with Ganxo will help you to get to know Palamós and all its emblematic surroundings.

Palamós is known for having a large number of restaurants. At Ganxo Via Rent a Car, we recommend going out for tapas in different places in the town. In this case, you won't need to take the rental car. El Casino', 'La Taverna Galeó' or 'Can Nicaló' are some of the most famous taverns in Palamós. If you want to try the best prawn in the world, 'La Gamba de Palamós', you won't have to miss La Gamba restaurant or any of the restaurants near the port.
