Sant Feliu de Guíxols

Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈsaɱ fəˈliw ðə ˈɣiʃuls]) is a municipality in the comarca of the Baix Empordà in Catalonia, Spain.

[3] Sant Feliu de Guíxols is a staging point on the GR 92 long-distance footpath, which runs the length of the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

The beaches are cleaned daily[citation needed] and a modern water treatment system prevents wastewater from entering the sea.

The settlement grew, and soon dwellings started to spring up on the other side of the watercourse, which would become the nucleus of the medieval town, centered on the market.

It is dedicated to the town's patron saint, St. Feliu, and includes a large fireworks display that takes place on the beach.
