Calau

Calau is a well-known tapas and pintxos restaurant and bar located just steps from Port Bo beach in the heart of Calella de Palafrugell, on Spain’s Costa Brava. The venue is popular with both locals and visitors for its relaxed atmosphere, selection of freshly prepared tapas, pintxos displayed at the bar, local seafood dishes, and a wide range of wines, vermouths, beers, and cocktails. Guests typically order small plates to share, either seated at tables or standing at the bar, making it a casual spot for both light bites and full meals.

A charge from CALAU, CALAU BAR, CALAU RESTAURANTE, or similar wording on your bank or card statement usually relates to a food and beverage purchase made at the restaurant. This may include dine-in meals, drinks at the bar, shared tapas, or group tabs that one person settled on their card. In some cases, you might see a pre-authorization or pending amount if you opened a tab, which can differ slightly from the final charged amount once the bill is closed and tips or adjustments (if applicable) are added.

If you do not immediately recognize the Calau charge, first think back to any recent trips to Calella de Palafrugell or group outings where someone may have used your card to pay the restaurant bill. Check your email, text messages, or travel booking apps for receipts or photos from that day, which may help confirm the visit. To resolve questions, you can contact the restaurant directly via the contact details on their official website (calaubar.com) or by phone during their opening hours; have your transaction date, exact amount, and the name on the card ready so they can look up the bill. Common issues—such as mistaken duplicate charges or confusion over a group tab—are typically resolved by speaking with the restaurant, which can verify the original receipt and, if necessary, process an adjustment or refund through their payment terminal provider.
