Sant Pol de Mar

Guide to the Municipalities

In Sant Pol de Mar, you'll discover a fishermen's town, with white houses and narrow, quiets streets, rocky bays and heavy-grained sand beaches bathed with crystal-clear waters. Strolling along the stepped streets of the Old Town will allow you to marvel at the rich architectural heritage of Catalan Art Nouveau buildings, such as the old escoles, or schools, where you can appreciate the great beauty of the handcrafted ironwork. A walk along the seafront following the coastline to La Punta or a route to Calella along the coastal path allow visitors to discover the breath-taking beauty of its exceptional surroundings.

The essentials

- Walk through the town’s streets contemplating the Modernista towers of the boulevard.
- Make a stop at one of the area's restaurants to try the local cuisine.

Economic activity

The municipality is a summer holiday destination (with ample hotel rooms and housing estates) and second home for many. As a result, agricultural activities are on the decline and practically the only crops left are strawberries, large strawberries and raspberries. Fishing and industry (textiles, mechanical constructions, etc.) carry little weight.
