Sea, Authenticity and Atmosphere
Beaches and coves:
Golden-sand beaches, turquoise water and gentle access — perfect for swimming, sunbathing and walks. The coves of Platja de les Barques, Platja de Sant Pol and Platja de Morer are all within walking distance from the town center.
Mediterranean architecture:
Sant Pol has preserved its fishing village character: white facades, narrow streets, vaulted arcades and terraces with sea views. Arguably one of the most “Instagrammable” towns in the region.
Peace and privacy:
Far from mass tourism, the town attracts artists, chefs, architects and families seeking balance between nature, culture and serenity.
World-Class Gastronomy
Michelin legacy:
Sant Pol was home to the legendary Sant Pau restaurant by Carme Ruscalleda — the first female chef in Spain to earn 7 Michelin stars. Today, the Espai Gastronomic Sant Pau continues her legacy through culinary events and fine dining.
Top local restaurants:
- El Sot del Morer – Elegant cuisine with seasonal local produce
- Can Talamas – Mediterranean classics in a welcoming setting
- Taverna Can Planiol – Tapas, fresh fish and a beachfront terrace
Markets and local products:
A local market and artisan shops offer fresh produce, cheeses, breads and DO Alella wines — a staple of the regional gastronomic identity.
