About Palamós

Palamós is a municipality located in the Baix Empordà region, in the province of Girona, within the autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain. Situated on the Costa Brava, it is known for its maritime tradition, its port, and its tourist appeal.

Palamós is located on the Mediterranean coast, characterized by rocky coves, fine sandy beaches, and a gently rolling landscape that blends urban areas with natural spaces. It borders municipalities such as Sant Antoni de Calonge and Mont-ras, and enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers.

The population of Palamós exceeds 18.000 inhabitants, although it experiences a significant increase during the summer months due to tourism. This seasonality influences both the economic activity and the social structure of the municipality.

Officially founded in 1277 by King Peter III of Aragon , Palamós was established with the aim of creating a strategic port on the Catalan coast. Over the centuries, the town consolidated its position as an important fishing and commercial center. During the Modern Age, it suffered pirate attacks and periods of warfare, but managed to maintain its maritime importance.

The local economy has historically been linked to fishing, with the renowned Palamós prawn being a particularly noteworthy product, considered a high-quality delicacy. Currently, tourism is the main economic driver, along with commerce, restaurants, and nautical activities. The port of Palamós also handles commercial and cruise ship traffic.

Among its main attractions are La Fosca beach, the Sant Esteve de Mar Castle, and the fishing port. The Palamós Fishing Museum is also noteworthy , offering insights into the local maritime tradition. The seafront promenade and the old town provide a blend of heritage, gastronomy, and leisure activities that further enhances its appeal as a destination on the Costa Brava.

About the Raluy Historical Circus

The Raluy family is a renowned circus dynasty with a history spanning over a century and a half. Its origins lie with Francisco Raluy, an adventurous young man born in Fonz (Huesca), who was also the father of Luís Raluy Iglesias, born on February 11, 1911.

Influenced by his father's stories about a nomadic life, Luís Raluy developed a deep interest in the world of the circus from a very young age. During his youth, he excelled as a gymnast, perfecting acrobatic and pole exercises in the Barceloneta neighborhood of Barcelona. In this environment, he established crucial contacts that allowed him to join prestigious pole acts such as those of the Oliveras and the Keistone, performing in prominent European circuses of the time.

This passion for the circus didn't end with their generation; it was passed on to their descendants, who have continued to develop the family tradition. Today, the Raluy family, under the direction of Rosa Raluy , William Giribaldi , and the Raluy Sisters , remains one of the most prominent circus companies in Spain. Their shows combine acrobatics, magic, and music, offering performances that resonate with diverse audiences. Their trajectory reflects a continuity based on commitment, talent, and the preservation of a cultural heritage linked to the art of the circus.
