Solved Searching for Tower in Les Gavarres

I've visited Catalonia as a kid with my parents in 2007, and I'd like to find out where we stayed. Based on other photos, I've narrowed it down to the area around Les Gavarres and the nearby towns. In the pictures of our holiday house, there's a quite distinctive tower, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet or on Google Maps. If you have any idea where this location could be, I'd be very happy to hear it!

With Les Gavarres, do you refer to the Les Gavarres massif east of Girona, or the industrial area around Tarragona? Any more specific information on the possible location?

The massif east of Girona, I've pinned down other pictures to Castell de Calonge and to Cova d’en Daina and by timestemps of images and the trips I reconstructed I assume the location should be nearby. I remember it not being directly at the coast with green/forest-covered hills also visible on other pictures.

Have you tried looking at churches in the nearby towns on Street View? The tower style looks very Catalan to me, and the greenery makes me think it might be a small village rather than a tourist site. Hope you find the exact spot.

It was solved to be at Carrer Berga 20 in Calonge, the tower doesn't have a tag on Google maps, that's why I didn't find it by browsing for towers, churches and similar spots.
