- Llafranc
Llafranc is one of three coastal towns belonging to the municipality of
Palafrugell . It is part of theCosta Brava , the coastal region of northeasternCatalonia , in the comarca ofBaix Empordà , in the province ofGirona .The combination of a very good summer climate and excellent beaches is exploited for both domestic and international tourism. Many domestic tourists come from nearby
Barcelona , while the international tourists come from a whole range of countries, especially theNetherlands ,England ,France , and more recently theUnited States .Llafranc has retained a more traditional look and has become a "hidden gem" for visitors who want a little more than sun, sand and sangria. Within easy walking distance of other, similar towns, such as Calella de Palafrugell, a trip to this stretch of the Costa Brava offers more than just one beach or promenade. A true delight in summer with a very pleasant ambience.
Llafranc is considered a luxury in the northern part of Spain. It can cost up to 4 million euros just to find a small house overlooking the ocean. Some call it the "Laguna Beach" of Spain due to the rich, beautiful people and amazing homes. The small shops around town are gorgeous offering in-style clothes, great restaurants, and fun entertainment. Those who own even a small 3-bedrooom apartment near town, can earn up to 2 million euros for the precious homes.
