Les Fresses cove
La Les Fresses cove is located about four kilometres from the centre of Portbou, almost reaching the border with France. It is a totally unspoilt natural area, only 40 metres long. The lack of human intervention in the landscape of the Les Fresses cove is explained by its abrupt environment, which makes it very difficult to access. Thus, the only way to reach it is by sea. It is a magnificent place to visit by boat or kayak and enjoy a day of nature and relaxation.

Visit Portbou
The farewell with Costa Brava
The municipality of Portbou is located at the eastern end of the Albera mountain range, in a very rugged terrain just before the border with France.
This picturesque village on the Costa Brava grew and developed in parallel with its international railway station, inaugurated at the end of the 19th century, which gives it a marked frontier character.
One of the main points of interest in the town is the neogothic Santa Maria church, from where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the bay. From Portbou you can also enjoy an interesting range of coves and beaches where you can spend a pleasant day bathing and sunbathing, or practising water sports. Among all of them, we can highlight el Claper cove or Les Tres Platgetes.
Sailing enthusiasts can also enjoy the marina, which opened in 2002 and is located in the south of the bay. It has a capacity of 297 moorings.
