What's on in Sant Feliu de Guíxols

Sant Feliu de Guíxols is a proper working town on the southern Costa Brava, built around a sheltered bay and a fishing and cork-trading past. There's a grand Benedictine monastery on the seafront, a sweep of promenade and beach, and a string of coves you can walk to along the coastal path. Bigger and more lived-in than the resorts nearby, it keeps a real local life year-round.

Its cultural calendar includes the Costa Brava Tango Festival, which brings dancers and musicians to the town. Here's what's on while you're here.
