Areas and Surroundings
Residential developments are spread over the hillsides around the village: Urbapol, Roques Blanques, Bellavista i Bellaguarda, Can Villar, el Farell and Jardins de Sant Pol. The higher ones offer open sea views; those closest to the centre are within walking distance of the beach and the station.
Investment Potential
Sant Pol has little buildable land and a protected old town, so the supply of houses with sea views is limited. At 50 km from Barcelona and with a direct train, it works both as a main home for remote workers and as a second home by the sea.
Mediterranean Living
Sant Pol's old town slopes down to the beach with whitewashed houses and narrow streets, overlooked by the late-Gothic church of Sant Jaume and the hermitage of Sant Pau, Romanesque with Gothic vaults, on a promontory above the sea. The poet Salvador Espriu, closely linked to the village, has a monument here.
Sant Pol has a long culinary tradition: Carme Ruscalleda's three-Michelin-star restaurant Sant Pau was here until it closed in 2018, and the EUHT St. Pol, considered Europe's first university hotel school, was founded here in 1966.
