Good to know
- Balàfia is a cluster of seven traditional farmhouses and two defence towers, protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural and historic ensemble.
- It dates back to an Islamic era farmstead, and its tower refuges protected farmers from pirate raids between the 15th and 17th centuries.
- The houses are private, but a 2.7 km signed walk links the village church with the Font de Balàfia.
