About St Carles de la Ràpita
St Carles de la Ràpita is a working town of about 15,000 people, laid out in a neoclassical style under Charles III as a trading port. It is still an important fishing port for prawns and shellfish, and the town is known for its rice and salt. The saltwater lagoon of Port dels Alfacs is enclosed by the El Trabucador spit and La Banya peninsula. The homes are clustered in one spot, so check on the map how far yours is from the port and the beach. Evenings mean the restaurants in town, and more visitors arrive each summer.
