Castle of Verdera
The Castle of Verdera is a medieval fortification located at the top of Sant Salvador de Sa Verdera in the municipality of Port de la Selva.
The construction consists of two constructive and historical stages which explain the diversity of the names with which it is known;
A first stage, which goes from the s. IX until the end of XIII, in which the primitive rock castle was built, initially county and then monastic.
And a second stage, that it was during the last quarter of the 13th century, in which it was expanded and fortified in the hands of the emoritans counts and in which it was renamed "Castle of San Salvador".
Visit El Port de la Selva
The pleasure of nature

El Port de la Selva is located on the north coast of Cap de Creus, in Alt Empordà. Its natural environment is abrupt, characterised by the streams and torrents of the buttresses that flow down from the Rodes mountain range.
It is a town with a fishing tradition, with a port that specialises in shrimp fishing, but also has an area dedicated to sport and recreational sailing. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of water sports such as sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving.
Some of its main places of interest are perched on the Serra de Rodes mountain range. It is here that we can enjoy spectacular routes to discover the Sant Pere de Rodes monastery, the Verdera castle or the remains of megalithic culture.
The coast of El Port de la Selva has a wide range of very diverse coves and beaches: rocky, sandy, unfrequented or family beaches. A wide range of possibilities for all tastes.
