Puerto de la Selva - San Pedro de Roda / Sant Pere de Roda

From Llansá the coast road continues, with extensive views, to Puerto de la Selva, charmingly situated at the foot of the Sierra de Roda. In the hills is the old Benedictine abbey of San Pedro de Roda, with a church going back to the 8th century; the Romanesque barrel vaulting is believed to be the oldest of the kind. The capitals have finely carved animals' heads and interlace ornament. Above the abbey is the Castillo de San Salvador, from which there are fine views. Puerto de la Selva has a seawater swimming pool and a boating marina.
