About the city
Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a Mediterranean town on Catalonia’s Costa Brava, is not only a peaceful coastal destination but also a natural stage for concerts, sports events and cultural evenings by the sea. The town combines the atmosphere of a historic port, promenades, beaches and distinctive Catalan gastronomy, making it a pleasant choice for visitors who want to turn an event into a complete stay. Thanks to its compact size, many entertainment venues, hotels, restaurants and seaside areas are within practical distance, so the experience of the town can easily continue before and after the programme.
Although Sant Feliu de Guíxols does not have its own railway station, transport connections are straightforward thanks to the Estació d’Autobusos bus hub and the SARFA and TEISA lines that connect the town with Girona, coastal towns and the wider Costa Brava area. For arrivals by train, the most commonly used stations are Girona and Caldes de Malavella on the RENFE network, from where the journey continues by bus or taxi towards city venues, seaside stages and sports locations. The nearest airports are Girona-Costa Brava Airport and Barcelona-El Prat Airport, while road connections to the town also make arrival easy for visitors who choose their own transport.
Before or after a concert, match or other event, Sant Feliu de Guíxols offers enough attractions for relaxed exploration without rushing. Highlights include Monestir de Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Plaça del Monestir, Passeig del Mar, Sant Pol beach and the viewpoint near Ermita de Sant Elm, which offers one of the most beautiful views of the Costa Brava. A walk along the harbour, the old-town atmosphere and short trips to coves and coastal paths add extra value to the event, so a stay in this Catalan town easily becomes more than just a ticket.
