When you come to Baix Empordà you just have to visit Sant Feliu de Guíxols. The Benedictine monastery with its Porta Ferrada (Iron Gate) is one of the town’s great landmarks. But so are the beaches and coves nestled between the cliffs (check out Cala Canyetes, Port Salvi or Sant Pol), the coastal footpaths, the carrilet (narrow gauge railway) greenway, the Pedralta rocking stone… The options are endless. And if you decide to visit in the summer, try to catch the Porta Ferrada Festival, with a wide variety of music, theatre and dance performances.
