34. Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Costa Brava: Heritage with a Splash of Glamour

Often overshadowed by its flashier neighbors, Sant Feliu de Guíxols blends medieval heritage with a vibrant seafront. Its 10th-century monastery anchors a town where cultural festivals and art galleries meet warm Mediterranean sands. The town’s Passeig del Mar is a palm-lined promenade ideal for evening strolls, while nearby Cala Ametller offers a hidden snorkeling haven. It’s a place where Catalan pride runs deep—and yet it welcomes visitors with open arms and unforgettable seafood rice dishes. A rare mix of gravitas and glamour.
