History
El pueblo sigue teniendo un importante puerto que hace honor a su tradición pesquera, aunque otros sectores económicos como el turismo han ido tomando el relevo. Está constituido por un conjunto de arquitectura marinera presidido por la iglesia de Santa María de las Nieves, de gran belleza, que se encara a la bahía.
Cerca, puede visitarse el dolmen de la Taula dels Lladres y un poco más lejos el Monasterio de San Pedro de Roda. Ligado a la población está el nombre del escritor catalán Josep Maria de Sagarra, en el que inspira algunas de sus obras de ambiente marinero: La Balada de Luard, El Mariner (El Marinero) o Cançons de rem i de Vela (Canciones de Remo y de Vela).
