The best areas to stay in L'Escala are the Old Town (Barri Vell) and Riells for a mix of historic charm and beach access, or Montgó for a quieter, more secluded experience.
The Old Town, or Barri Vell, is the historic heart of L'Escala, offering a traditional Spanish coastal experience. It's centred around the main church and the small fishing harbour, with narrow, winding streets filled with local shops, traditional restaurants, and ice cream parlours. The Església de Sant Pere (Church of Saint Peter) is a prominent landmark. This area is great for couples who appreciate history and want to be close to authentic local life and the small, picturesque beaches like Platja de la Platja.
Just a short walk from the Old Town is the Riells area, which is ideal for families. It boasts a long, sandy beach with calm, shallow waters, great for children. The promenade along Riells beach is dotted with family-friendly restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as playgrounds and mini-golf courses. The area is more modern than the Old Town but still has a relaxed, holiday feel, offering easy access to amenities and the beach.
For those seeking a more tranquil setting, the Montgó area, located slightly south of the main town, is an excellent choice. It's known for its beautiful cove, Platja de Montgó, which is popular for swimming and snorkelling. The area is more residential, with villas and apartments, and offers a peaceful escape from the busier parts of L'Escala.
