The people from Calonge have been traditionally linked to the exploitation of forest resources and agriculture. In ancient times a lot of families lived off the woods and not long ago a lot of them were devoted to the cork industry.

The coast of Calonge is a big part of the bay of Palamós. The stream of Calonge flows into the bay and serves as the limit between the village of Sant Antoni de Calonge in the North and Torre Valentina in the South. Torre Valentina, the result of different urban projects in the 60's, closes the bay. |

The centre of Sant Antoni has great touristic importance. A few streets, parallel to the coast, with not many houses turning their backs to the sea, used to form the village before being discovered by tourism. Before the intensification of this industry, Sant Antoni had been a holiday resort for families from Girona province.
