    Hiking

    Palamós's Fosca Beach owes its name to the large black rock that divides it into two parts, the Fosca beach and the Sant Esteve de la Fosca beach. This popular beach, which has a beautiful promenade that surrounds it as a ring road, hides a curious story that otherwise explains the origin of its name.

    Legend has it that the Greek goddess Pyrene came to this beach fleeing Geryon, the three-headed monster who sought her and who, being rejected by the beautiful goddess, burned the forests of the Pyrenees and murdered her father.
