Adjacent to the seafront is an excellent seafood restaurant and several other bars, providing some shade, refreshments and deliciously fresh cuisine close to the water\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the coastal restaurants you can meander \u2013 fairly steeply \u2013 through a maze of simple whitewashed houses, set against a backdrop of verdurous pine-cladded forests rising to meet the serene, cloudless sky.<\/p>\n<p>This small fishing village remains largely undeveloped and retains an individually and uniqueness many of the towns and villages on this stretch of the Costa Brava possess.<\/p>\n<p>Within easy reach is the lively market town of Palafrugell, which is home to a sprightly market every Sunday morning. Or for a real taste of affluence and sophistication a trip to the nearby towns of Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell, with their glamorous marinas and delightful beaches.<\/p>\n<p>Tamariu on Spain\u2019s Costa Brava&#8230;.what&#8217;s not to like?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tamariu on Spain\u2019s Costa Brava\u00a0\u2013 A unique, tranquil and traditional treasure with an air of glamour!\u00a0The small fishing village of Tamariu on Spain\u2019s Costa Brava possesses a unique blend of tradition and tranquillity with an air of sophistication and glamour.
