La Selva de Mar is a very small village close to the the port town of El Port de la Selva. In the summer months, the town and area become very busy with tourists (particularly Spanish). The town and surroundings are very picturesque and there are many walks to do in the National Park, however, we were unable to take advantage of these because of the temperatures. There are many beaches close to the property and it is conveniently close to Girona (1 hour) and Barcelona (2 hours). As El Port de la Selva is a small town, parking is difficult in Summer.
