Houses and masias for sale in Pals

Living in Pals

Pals is one of the best-known medieval villages in the Empordà. Its old town, the Pedró, rises on a hill and keeps its walls, cobbled streets and the Torre de les Hores, overlooking a landscape of rice fields, market gardens and woodland that reaches the sea.

The municipality combines this rural interior with a wide sandy beach, Pals beach, and the proximity of Begur and the coves of the Costa Brava. It is one of the places where the dual identity of the Baix Empordà is easiest to see: countryside and sea just minutes apart.

Houses and masias for sale in Pals

The BARNES selection in Pals focuses on properties with character:

• Masias: stone country estates, some made up of several separate buildings, surrounded by land and with a pool.
• Village houses: restored stone homes in the historic centre, with original features and every modern comfort.
• Villas near the coast: around Pals and Begur, homes with garden and pool a short distance from the beach.

The old town, the countryside and the beach

Pals offers three different ways of living. In the old town, life is lived on foot among stone streets and squares. In the countryside, masias offer space, privacy and views over the rice fields and the Montgrí massif. Near the beach, houses let you enjoy the sea and the area's golf courses.

What to consider when buying in Pals

• For masias: the planning status, the legality of all buildings, access and the condition of the structure.
• For village houses: the quality of the restoration, natural light and outdoor space.
• Distance to the coast: an important factor if the property will be a summer home.
• The land: size, orientation and permitted use.

We explain this in detail in our guide to buying a masia in the Empordà.

Life in Pals

The surrounding area

If you widen your search, Begur offers villas overlooking the coves; Torrent, a quiet village between Pals and the coast; and Peratallada, village houses in one of the best-preserved medieval ensembles in Catalonia.

Masia or village house

A masia offers space, privacy and a direct connection with the landscape, and usually requires more upkeep. A village house lets you live in the heart of the historic centre, with everything within walking distance and simpler maintenance. For a second home, many families also value the proximity of Pals beach and the coves of Begur.

What a masia in Pals is like

The masias around Pals are stone buildings with several centuries of history, originally built as farmhouses. Those offered today have been restored for modern living: renovated interiors, pool, garden and, depending on the estate, farmland, woodland or outbuildings such as former stables or barns converted into guest houses. Orientation, land size and the relationship with the nearest village are as important as the house itself.
