Forallac, a municipality of medieval villages

Forallac is a Baix Empordà municipality made up of several characterful villages: Vulpellac, Peratallada, Canapost, Fonteta and Sant Climent de Peralta, among others. Located next to La Bisbal d'Empordà, in the heart of the Empordà, it combines stone villages, farmland and woods a few minutes from the Costa Brava.

Each village has its own personality: Peratallada is one of the best-preserved medieval ensembles in Catalonia; Vulpellac keeps its castle-palace and a small historic centre; and Canapost, Fonteta or Sant Climent offer a rural setting of masias and paths among olive groves.

New build or house to restore

A new-build house lets you move into an efficient home, with warranties and no works. A house to restore offers the chance to recover original features —stone walls, vaults, beams— and adapt them to your taste, in exchange for a project and construction period. Our team will help you compare both options; for masias, see our guide to buying a masia in the Empordà.
