El Port de la Selva

El Port de la Selva covers 41.49 square kilometers along the Costa Brava coastline, featuring Mediterranean landscapes with rocky cliffs, secluded coves and ancient mountains near Cap de Creus natural park.

Founded in medieval times as a maritime trading port, El Port de la Selva developed around the historic monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, a key monument of Catalan cultural heritage.

The town annually celebrates the feast of Sant Pere with traditional processions and the Fira de l'Espàrrec festival honoring asparagus harvest and local maritime traditions rooted in fishing communities.

The municipality provides various transport services including car, bus, train and boat access, with accommodation options ranging from hotels and apartments to campsites for visitors throughout the year.

Approximately 90% of the municipal territory lies within Cap de Creus Natural Park, the last foothill of the Pyrenees offering distinctive geological formations and flooded valleys along the coast.
