It is in the middle of the protected area of the Ardenya massif, in a natural and wild environment. The cove, large and open, is framed between the cliffs of Punta d'en Bosc, to the north, and Punta d'en Romaguer, to the south. Oriented to the east, it has a length of 72 m and an average width of 11 m, formed by pebbles and blocks. Right next to the sea there is a small freshwater pool.
Plaça del Mercat
serves as the heart of public and economic life in the town. A fruit and vegetable market takes place every morning on the “Plaça”. On Sundays, the weekly market takes place along the Passeig and on the Plaça, a popular meeting place for residents.
Opened in 1833, the seafront promenade was built between the medieval town and the sea. Little by little, the humble homes of fishermen from the medieval era were replaced by stately homes. Today, the area's architecture is mostly modern; because of real estate, many of the mansions are gone and condominiums have replaced them.
