Port de Sant Feliu de Guíxols

You anchor off here just outside Sant Feliu de Guíxols, one of the Costa Brava's most characterful towns, where a grand Benedictine monastery dating back to the 10th century dominates the seafront. The bay offers a scenic setting with the forested hills of the Gavarres massif rolling down to the coast, and the town itself has a real lived-in feel with a solid restaurant scene and a lively market. It's the kind of place that rewards a wander far more than you'd expect.
