Port de la Selva is just north of Llançà at the foot of the Cabros Gros mountains. The village faces west up towards France and the Pyrenees.

The main beach of Port de la Selva is a mixture of sand and shingle and the sea is shallow in most parts.

The church is a centre point for the locals and in the summer in the main square holds many activites for all ages.

The national park of Cap de Creus ends or starts here. The most important monastery in the area Sant Pere de Rodes is nearby and certainly worth a visit.

Sant Pere de Rodes is a benedictine monastery and was one of the many religious institutions founded in this area after the departure of the Moors.
