Sant Feliu de Guíxols is the largest municipality in Baix Empordà, located in the heart of the Costa Brava.
It is an old and beautiful fishing town that preserves an important historical legacy, such as the architectural complex of the Benedictine monastery, listed as a Cultural Asset of National Interest, which still retains key elements like the 10th-century Romanesque Porta Ferrada. Also noteworthy is the Hermitage of Sant Elm, from where the writer Ferran Agulló gave the Costa Brava its name.
The coastline of Sant Feliu de Guíxols is one of the most spectacular on the Catalan coast, stretching 10 km and featuring highly contrasting landscapes: numerous cliffs opening onto small, secluded coves such as Cala de l’Ametller, Cala Jonca, and Cala Maset. It also has two large beaches: the main beach, 460 meters long with fine sand, and Platja de Sant Pol.
In addition to its outstanding gastronomic offering, thanks to a good number of restaurants, and the cultural, leisure, and sports services and activities it provides year-round, Sant Feliu de Guíxols also stands out for its historical heritage and for its prestigious, renowned Porta Ferrada International Music Festival.
The nearest airports are Girona Airport, just 30 km away, and Barcelona Airport, 115 km away.
Without a doubt, Sant Feliu de Guíxols is an excellent option for those seeking a permanent residence or a holiday home.
