Culture and guided tours in Calonge and Sant Antoni — Experiences with soul

Among cobbled streets and sea aromas, Calonge invites you on a journey into the past without giving up the vibrancy of a town full of culture. Explore its heritage sites, guided routes, and activities that blend history, art, and local life.

Castell de Calonge and the old town

The Castell de Calonge, dating from the 12th century, dominates the plaça Major and stands as the heart of the town’s heritage. The cobbled streets, the església de Sant Martí, and the stone houses preserve the village’s medieval charm.
Private guided tours allow you to explore this historic centre at a relaxed pace, in small groups, accompanied by local guides who share stories, legends, and secrets from a fascinating era.

Monestir medieval de Santa Maria del Collet and Torre Lloreta

A journey into a lesser-known past. The Ateneu Popular de Calonge organises free guided visits to the Monestir de Santa Maria del Collet and Torre Lloreta, a former watchtower built to defend against piracy that was later transformed into a masia. These activities have limited spaces and are highly recommended for those seeking authentic cultural experiences.

Calonge, “El Poble dels Llibres”

Calonge has become a true Mediterranean booktown. The Poble dels Llibres project has brought life to six specialised bookshops in the old town and one more in Sant Antoni, creating a unique literary atmosphere. Throughout the year, recitals, fairs, book presentations, and—come autumn—the Festa del Vi Nou take place, merging literature, music, and local gastronomy in a setting full of creativity and charm.

Culture and Festivities

Throughout the year, Calonge i Sant Antoni host gastronomic, cultural, and sports fairs that attract visitors from near and far—an opportunity to enjoy local tradition with a distinctive character.

An event that shines a light on local organisations through a variety of activities: a community vermut, piano music at the lookout point, giant games, open-air concerts, and a community bike ride that brings together sport and local spirit.

A modern and urban proposal featuring a vintage market, live music, food trucks, and a children’s area, all held at the Castell de Calonge. Over several days in July, it includes tardeo concerts, children’s shows, and artistic exhibitions inside the castle.

Concerts at the Castell de Calonge and Estiu Actiu

The Festival Estiu Actiu complements the programme with cultural and leisure activities for all ages, available in several languages and organised by the local tourism office.
