Sant Feliu de Guixols
Among the towns of the Costa Brava, Sant Feliu de Guíxols stands out for its sheltered Mediterranean bay and medieval monastic legacy. Set on Catalonia’s northeastern coast, it combines a harbour with a compact urban centre framed by rocky headlands and the wooded slopes of the Gavarres. The Monestir de Sant Feliu de Guíxols began as a Benedictine foundation in the 10th century. Its Porta Ferrada, a rare pre-Romanesque façade, is the town’s defining historic monument. Sant Feliu de Guíxols has developed as a coastal centre where maritime life, cultural activity and the coves of the Costa Brava meet.

Sant Feliu de Guíxols lies along the Mediterranean coast on Catalonia’s Costa Brava, where a sheltered bay meets rocky headlands and pine-covered slopes. The town grew around the Benedictine Monastery of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, whose Porta Ferrada is one of its defining medieval monuments. Its waterfront, marina and sandy town beach sit close to the old centre, while the Camí de Ronda follows sections of the rugged shore beyond it. Sant Feliu also has a long association with fishing and the cork trade, industries that helped shape its port identity. Each summer, the Festival Porta Ferrada brings concerts and performing arts to town. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Costa Brava.

Catalonia combines Mediterranean ease with rugged inland terrain in a way that reflects its position between the Pyrenees and Spain’s eastern coast. In northeastern Spain, the region extends from the coves of the Costa Brava to high mountain valleys and the Ebro Delta. Barcelona is its largest city and cultural reference point, known for Antoni Gaudí’s still-unfinished Sagrada Família. Inland, the serrated massif of Montserrat rises near Catalonia’s geographic centre and is home to the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat. Catalan is co-official with Spanish, and the region’s language, cuisine and traditions give everyday life a distinct identity.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
