Ermita de Sant Elm

The Ermita de Sant Elm, a stone’s throw from Maremar and not much further from Marona and Marblava.

The slider above shows some of the spectacular views you can see from the Ermita de sant Elm, just a short stroll down the coast road from Maremar. Or indeed an even short tourist train ride from Sant Feliu if you are coming up from there.

This is just one of the many things that Sant Feliu de Guixols has to offer.

It has virtually 365 degree views and is as stunning by night as it is by day.

Go there for an early morning meditate and sit quietly in the shade… Or go there when the sun has set and see the Ermita, Sant Feliu and the sea lit up in a magical way.

The hermitage was rebuilt in 1923. The building had been a strategic fortification used to defend the Sant Feliu coast since the 15th century, but was demolished by French troops during the wars of the late 18th century. The interior of the hermitage houses beautiful allegorical paintings dating from 1923. The lookout point commands views from Palamós down to Tossa de Mar, and it was here that the writer Ferran Agulló came up with the name of Costa Brava to describe this rugged stretch of coast.
