About us
Lifelong lovers of Altafulla.
Altafulla Crew are the usual suspects: the ones who walk up to the Vila for dinner even when they sleep by the beach, the ones eating Sunday rice with a view of Tamarit, the ones who know what time you have to arrive in August to find parking. We make t-shirts of the village because we wanted to wear it.
Where the crew comes from
Altafulla is two villages in one, and we have spent our whole lives between them: the Vila Closa at the top, Les Botigues de Mar below and Tamarit Castle closing off the beach. This is where we learnt to fish from the rocks, to walk down to the beach along the path that crosses the railway, and to measure summer in vermouths in front of Les Botigues.
That is what the crew is: the family and friends who come back every year, the ones who never leave and the ones who, once they have tried Altafulla, keep coming back. If you wear the t-shirt, you are already part of the crew.
Why t-shirts
We were looking for an Altafulla t-shirt we would want to wear in winter too, and we could not find one: it was either a souvenir or it said nothing at all. So we made it ourselves: 100% cotton, a unisex cut from XS to XXL and drawings of what truly belongs here: the patí català, the crew’s lobster, the sun and salt of Sun, Salt & Altafulla and, of course, an I Love Altafulla.
Few designs, well made. We are starting with t-shirts; if you like them, more will follow.
How we work
The shop is in Catalan, Spanish and English, because that is how Altafulla speaks: Catalan, Spanish and, every summer, half the world. We ship to mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, free from €50, and you have 14 days to return anything that does not fit. You pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe; we never see your card details.
The Guide, written from here
We write the Altafulla Guide ourselves: what to see, where to eat, where to stay, what is on each month and how to get here. No scores or rankings, just what we would tell a friend coming to visit. If a place is in it, it is because we have checked it; if it closes or changes, we fix it.
Talk to us any time
