SELVA PORT COSTA BRAVA

With its whitewashed houses facing an attractive harbor, this small resort on the edge of the Cap de Creus peninsula looks every bit the timeless Mediterranean fishing village that it almost is. Fishing boats still set out each day to gather the anchovies for which EI Port de la Selva is known, but fishing is slowly giving way to tourism. The water is shallow, the beach is long and sandy, and there is good windsurfing in the sheltered bay. The Serra de Roda mountains, with the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes looking down, provide the perfect backdrop
