The Dark Rock of La Fosca Beach
Highlight • Natural Monument
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.
Pyrene fled and looked for a place to hide, visited many beautiful corners of the Catalan coast, the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Roses, the wonderful beach of Aiguablava de Begur, but finally chose this place, where he settled with his servants. Here he ordered his palace to be built, very close to the tip of Sant Esteve de Palamós, between the sea and the land, a place where he hoped that his beloved Heracles would know how to find it.
The beautiful palace had lush gardens with abundant fountains and ponds which, combined with the fantastic situations of the beach, with fine and golden sand, blue backgrounds and pleasant waters, became their little paradise. Here he enjoyed the moonlight walks and baths, dinners and lunches under the olive trees and its wonderful surroundings.
Nearby was a castle, the lord of which, on discovering the beauty and sweetness of Pyrene, satisfied her with gifts and supplications to conquer it. But after the goddess's continued rejection, one night she went mad and ordered the palace to be burned and her life ended.
The palace was reduced to ashes and the stones of the ruins, they were disappearing after centuries and centuries of erosion by the sea and the winds, but it was a stubborn and hard rock, blackened by the fire of the fire, that went resisted all the inclement weather and endured as a witness to that terrible night.
Even today we can see it in the same place, it is the dark (black) rock that gives its name to the beach, La Fosca.
