Pals is a fortified medieval village skilfully restored. The village buildings are date back to the fourteenth century and are perched upon a hilltop setting with splendid views over the Empordà area. Below the parish church there is the town museum.

Pals has regular entertainment in the summer and winter months with a live nativity scene over Christmas.

There are few places to stay in the town but a number of restaurants and bars.

Pals beach (ideal for windsurfing) is some 4 kilometres away. A long sandy beach where even in the summer high season you can find a quiet spot. Pals also has a couple of 18 hole golf courses.
