S'Arenella Lighthouse
The s'Arenella Lighthouse is located on the tip of s'Arenella, in the bay of Port de la Selva. This natural space has a large car park and a spectacular viewpoint just a few meters from the lighthouse.
We find the origin of the lighthouse in an initiative carried out in 1891 by the Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People of Girona. The inauguration of the building did not take place until a few years later, in 1913.
Currently, the lighthouse is fully automated. From 1999, the figure of the lighthouse keeper ceased to be useful in the s'Arenella facilities.
Visit El Port de la Selva
The pleasure of nature
El Port de la Selva is located on the north coast of Cap de Creus, in Alt Empordà. Its natural environment is abrupt, characterised by the streams and torrents of the buttresses that flow down from the Rodes mountain range.
It is a town with a fishing tradition, with a port that specialises in shrimp fishing, but also has an area dedicated to sport and recreational sailing. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of water sports such as sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving.
Some of its main places of interest are perched on the Serra de Rodes mountain range. It is here that we can enjoy spectacular routes to discover the Sant Pere de Rodes monastery, the Verdera castle or the remains of megalithic culture.
The coast of El Port de la Selva has a wide range of very diverse coves and beaches: rocky, sandy, unfrequented or family beaches. A wide range of possibilities for all tastes.
