The town of Port de la Selva is part of the Alt Empordà region, in the province of Girona. Tourist accommodation and vacation rentals in Port de la Selva are becoming more and more popular due to its sublime surroundings. The area is ideal for spending a few summer days and enjoying everything the sea has to offer, but it is also a good option to get there to spend a week when the temperatures drop.
The vacation rentals in Port de la Selva
Every part of Port de la Selva is totally formidable: its white-washed town centre, its harbour with boats, the first lighthouse on the Costa Brava, the incredible coves of the area and the village of La Selva de Mar. Its environment derived from the passage of years and history makes this place a sensational area to discover through our vacation rentals in the Alt Empordà.
Port de la Selva and its natural surroundings
Although the town of Port de la Selva is mentioned in writings from the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, it is not until the beginning of the 18th century that there is real evidence of urban life in the town.
The population probably grew because fishermen from other places began to build their houses near the port. In the middle of the 19th century, agriculture began to gain weight: mainly thanks to the ease with which wine and oil could be produced. However, in 1879 the plague of phylloxera also reached Port de la Selva and agricultural activity began to decline.
From the 20th century, agriculture took a back seat, and fishing and tourism began to take over as the town's main economic resources. Even well-known characters, such as Josep Maria de Segarra or Josep Maria Foix, were inspired by Port de la Selva in some of their works.
Today, tourism is the centre of economic activity in Port de la Selva. In this way, many urbanizations or nearby areas of Port de la Selva are really new, as they started to be built just over 20 years ago.

From Monday to Friday at La Caseta del Mar
We had already been several times, always in winter, thinking that in summer there would be more people around, but no, the Cap de Vol area is still very quiet. Ideal place to relax and enjoy the house and the surroundings. Spectacular!

A perfect room despite bad weather
Despite bad weather (which could ruin a vacation to anybody) it has been a magnificent place, thanks in large part to the pool and also to Lluís who has treated us very well. The only thing to improve, one of the shelves of the dishwasher that should be changed, everything else was perfect! It would also be ideal to have a couple more towels if the pool is used, although if you know, you can bring from home. In summary, a 10.

Cadaqués
Cadaqués is much more than a village to bathe on the beach. The beaches of Cadaqués are very rocky, but near the worldwide known picturesque village we find the bay of Portlligat with the island that lies ahead and of which Salvador Dalí was its best known inhabitant. There you will discover the Dali Museum house, where he lived, surrounded by forests and vegetation, a good starting point if you want to access some beautiful beaches around like Cala Sabolla (before the lighthouse Cala Nans). It is not difficult to access and is ideal for rest and relaxation. Here you can find one of the bests “chiringuitos” of Costa Brava.8.6 km
