See below for driving directions to Calella De Palafrugell from Girona Airport . Use the following links to view driving directions to Calella De Palafrugell from Barcelona Airport or France .
Leave the airport car park and head towards the main roads. Drive under the motorway (AP7) and under the NII (National Road) following the signs for Sant Feliu de Guixols, Santa Christina d’Aro and Platja d’Aro.
Continue on with these signs through the village of Riudellots towards Casa de la Selva. When you reach the C65 turn right, again signposted Sant Feliu/Platja ‘Aro. You will pass the town of Llagostera on your right. Shortly thereafter you meet up with the coast road north (C35), which joins you on the right hand side. You are still on the C65 and should keep on this road all the way to Palamos and then Palafrugell. (Please note that the road number does change after Santa Christina d’Aro to the C31. You do not leave the main road you are currently on. Having said that, during the summer the police sometimes do have diversions through Santa Christina d’Aro).
Continue on, passing Platja d’Aro and then Palamos. After Palamos you will encounter a new dual carriageway system. A sign will say Palafrugell 6 km. Continue on for 6km and take Exit 331 sign-posted Palafrugell sud, Mont-Ras and Platges. Continue straight ahead at the next two roundabouts and take a right at the third, following the Platges. After 300 yards, at the next roundabout, take the exit marked Platges, Calella, Tamariu and Llafranc. Continue for 200 yards through a small roundabout, and then on for 0.5 mile, over a few "bumps", to the next large roundabout. Approach this junction from the inside lane (right) because you need to take the very first exit, marked Sta Margarida /Ermedas. This small road is the Old Calella Road and Casa Dos Torres is situated on it. You will immediately pass La Guitarra on the right hand side. A mile further on is Costa Este, again on the right hand side. Continue on for about one more mile and you will be in Calella. When you enter Calella, there is a small piece of land on the right hand side with a few trees. Casa Dos Torres is the second house on the right after this. The house name is clearly visible. There are green sliding gates, a few pine trees and a house with two towers!

(Please note if you ask Google maps for directions from Girona it gives a very tortuous route over the mountains which would take about 1.5 hours rather than the 45 minutes by conventonal roads, so please use the directions above).
