Viewpoint of the S'Arenella Lighthouse and the Bay of Port de la Selva

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you walk along the path around these stones, you will find these benches and a lookout point that allow us to see the views of the lighthouse itself and of the entire Bay of Port de la Selva, which reaches as far as Cap Ras and the cape where Portbou is located.

Far de s'Aranella

Highlight • Monument

Running along the circuit path that goes from Port de la Selva to Llançà is brutal, but even more is the Lighthouse that is in the middle of these two towns and that is on top of some rocks with views to the north of Cap de Creus.

Hermitage of Saint Helena of Rodes

Highlight • Religious Site

The urban structure of Santa Creu de Rodes corresponds to a closed town, that is to say, a town where the rear facades of the houses functioned as walls and where it could only be accessed through the fortified portals.

Its nerve center was the church square, around which the houses are located. Separated by the streets that lead there. These are large buildings (between 70 and 100 m²), with a ground floor, one floor, and roofed with tiles, which often had a patio, vegetable garden or corral.

Santa Creu de Rodes was born and grew in the shadow of the monastery of Sant Pere and was a prosperous place where fairs and markets were held, where hoteliers, tailors, bakers, shoemakers, blacksmiths, tavern keepers or notaries, among others, offered their services to everyone who arrived, especially to the many pilgrims who went to the monastery.
