What you can expect

We begin the tour at the modern harbour, walking towards the lighthouse and discovering one of the 19th-century steam locomotives that connected the city with Girona until the 1960s. Next, we'll go to the medieval harbour, where the remains of the first inhabitants were found and where the saint who gave the city its name died. Next, we'll stroll through the narrow streets of Sant Feliu, where we'll discover the medieval skyline and the beautiful buildings left by the prosperous bourgeoisie dedicated to the cork trade, such as the Casino. We'll go to the old hospital and the city market, where we can talk about the local cuisine. And we'll also talk about the swinging 1960s, when the city grew enormously with tourism and welcomed important personalities from all over the world. Our route through the historic centre will end next to the remains of the important Benedictine monastery, a crucial element in Sant Feliu during the Middle Ages. If you wish, we can optionally extend our tour and climb Mount Sant Elm (a 20-minute walk from the monastery through the forest), where the chapel of the same name is located and from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the coast. According to some accounts, this view inspired the writer Ferran Agulló more than 100 years ago to give this name to the Costa Brava.
