In the evening you can explore the town, without the summer crowds, visiting the Museu Casa Barral, the Bot Salvavides, the church of Sant Miquel, the Confraria de Pescadors and the castle of the Santa Creu, all of which are part of the town's living history, a history that will guide you back to the present day with its music, sport, seaside and cuisine. You can have supper and spend the night in Calafell.
 
THE DARRÓ SETTLEMENT

On Sunday, after breakfast, take a bicycle ride to Vilanova i la Geltrú where you can visit the Darró settlement. It is a small and little-known Iberian settlement that was populated between the fifth and first centuries BCE and you will think it's a great find.
