Guide to Sant Feliu De Guixols

"Easier to fall in love with than it is to pronounce, this lovely town is the perfect place to unwind..."

Prettiness oozes from every nook and cranny of this sparkling seaside town. From its buttercup sands to its cafe-cluttered promenade, it's got the looks alright. Just take a look at the location. The town has grown up around a sweeping bay in the Costa Brava's Aro Valley. Nature reserves like Gavarres hills and the Montclar mountain swathe it in a cocoon of beauty, so you're never short of impressive views when out walking or cycling in the countryside. In either direction, coastal paths carry you off on a journey of discovery ripe with the cliffs, coves, bays and beaches so typical of the rugged Costa Brava. In the town itself, besides the safe sandy beach and colourful harbour, you'll fiind some wonderful buildings - a legacy of the prosperous 19th century cork industry. You'll see, too, the remains of a Benedictine monastery, the town's most important landmark. Nowadays the monastery complex houses the culture centre and history museum, where you can unravel Sant Feliu's intriguing past. Elsewhere, the old fort and the sea rescue building, both built on the site of the old Medieval harbour, stand testament to the town's important seafaring tradition. The past aside, a selection of shops, bars and restaurants bring your surroundings tight up to date. And the happy chatter of holidaymakers wafting from the beach is a sure sign of Sant Feliu's popularity as a relaxing beach resort.
