La Garoinada is one of the most emblematic gastronomic festivals on the Costa Brava. Celebrated since 1992, this long-standing winter tradition pays tribute to garoinas (sea urchins) at their peak season, when the sea is calm and local cuisine takes center stage.
From January through March, restaurants across the municipality of Palafrugell, including Tamariu, Llafranc, Calella de Palafrugell, and Palafrugell, offer dedicated menus that invite visitors to slow down and enjoy the Mediterranean at its most authentic.
Staying in Tamariu offers an ideal base to experience La Garoinada, with easy access to the different towns taking part in the festival and their celebrated culinary scenes.
