In the book entitled La porta d’entrada al Cap de Creus, art historian Mariona Seguranyes asserts the influence of the northern coast of Cap de Creus on the core of various artists’ work. Port de la Selva is believed to be the place where, under the leadership of J. V. Foix, the revival of the avant-garde with the artists’ group Dau al Set took place.
 
Joan Ponç picture evokes a boat trip of the artists of Dau al Set and J. V. Foix, from el Port de la Selva to Cadaqués, to visit Salvador Dalí.
