Sant Feliu de Guíxols

Sant Feliu de Guíxols extends along ten kilometers of Mediterranean coastline, featuring numerous small bays, pine-covered coves, and sandy beaches at 4 meters elevation.

The settlement originated from a Benedictine monastery established in the 10th century, with the name derived from Saint Felix of Girona and the term iecsalis.

The Porta Ferrada International Festival presents theatre, music, and dance performances throughout summer in the port area since its establishment in 1958.

The central Plaça del Mercat hosts a daily fruit and vegetable market, expanding into a larger general market every Sunday for residents and visitors.

From 1892 to 1969, a narrow gauge railway connected the town to Girona, and its former track now serves as a recreational greenway.
