Discover Portbou

Portbou is the last coastal town in Catalonia before the border with France. This small maritime village, nestled in a bay surrounded by mountains, has a unique charm. Its history is marked by its impressive international railway station and being the place of death of philosopher Walter Benjamin, whose memorial is an emotional visitation site. For hikers, Portbou can be a starting or ending point for transborder routes connecting to Jacobean trails. It offers a quiet atmosphere, a beautiful beach, and a rugged landscape. It's a place to enjoy the Mediterranean in its most bordering and reflective state.
