Sant Pol de Mar is best known in Catalonia for the former three-Michelin-star Sant Pau restaurant, associated with chef Carme Ruscalleda. The town lies on the Mediterranean coast in the Maresme comarca, where a compact old centre rises from small beaches toward the chapel of Sant Pau. White façades, narrow lanes and the railway running beside the shore give it a distinct seaside character. Sant Pol de Mar developed from a fishing settlement and retains a close connection between its centre and the sea, while the coast links it with towns between Barcelona and the Costa Brava.
