Sarfa bus from Barcelona and Girona

Pals has a scheduled bus, but with few services. Visit Pals, the municipal tourism website, says that the company that reaches the village is Sarfa, now part of Moventis, with departures from the Estació del Nord in Barcelona (Arc de Triomf), from Girona bus station and from the stop opposite the Flaçà railway station. The town council adds that from Girona there are many buses to Palafrugell, 6 km away, and fewer to Pals.

Lines that pass through Pals

Moventis sells Sarfa tickets at compras.moventis.es, where the current timetables are. Its list of Costa Brava lines includes, among others, line 1, Barcelona Airport – Barcelona – Costa Brava Centre, and line 8, Palafrugell – Begur – Girona.

The one that links Pals with the villages of the Baix Empordà is line 22, La Bisbal d'Empordà – Vulpellac – Peratallada – Pals – Begur – Palafrugell. In the annual timetable published by Moventis it has, on weekdays Monday to Friday, a single service in each direction:

• From Palafrugell (station) at 9:00, passing Begur at 9:15, Pals (Mas Patoxas) at 9:21 and Pals at 9:25, and arriving at La Bisbal at 10:05.
• From La Bisbal at 12:30, passing Peratallada at 12:40, Pals at 13:10 and Pals (Mas Patoxas) at 13:14, and arriving at Palafrugell at 13:35.

The timetable itself warns that it depends on traffic and that the company may change it. With these times, from Pals you can go to Peratallada in the morning (departing at 9:25, arriving at 9:55) and come back at midday (departing at 12:40, arriving in Pals at 13:10). Check the current timetable before planning the excursion.

From Barcelona and Girona

From Barcelona, the direct option is the bus from the Estació del Nord. If the timetable does not fit, the town council suggests the Rodalies or regional train on the Barcelona – Portbou line to Flaçà, 25 km away, and from there the bus to Palafrugell, which leaves from in front of the station. From Girona, the bus leaves from the station next to the railway station; the nearest high-speed train station is Girona.

For the last stretch, Pals has taxis: the town council gives TCB (972 612 222) and CAPSUR (619 303 852).
