Llafranc Beach: Palafrugell, Spain November 4, 2011
Llafranc (Catalan pronunciation: [ʎəˈfɾaŋ]) is one of three coastal
towns belonging to the municipality of Palafrugell, province of Girona,
Spain, the other two being Calella de Palafrugell and Tamariu. It is
part of the Costa Brava, the coastal region of northeastern Catalonia,
in the comarca of Baix Empordà.
The combination of a good summer
climate and 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
the Netherlands, England, France, and more recently the United States.
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 ambiance.
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-bedroom apartment
near town, can earn up to 2 million euros for the precious homes.
The
Hotel Llafranc dominates the main sea promenade and was popular with
artists such as Salvador Dali and Ernest Hemingway. The English writer
Tom Sharpe is also a resident of Llafranc.
El Far is the most
popular residence in Llafranc, located 1.5 km north of the beach on a
steep hill overlooking the beach and town. El Far has a lighthouse,
hotel and large development with communal pool.
