Llafranc is the perfect beach town for us. Majestic and beautiful Costa Brava cove nestled between beautiful rock formations - perfectly clear blue water and beautiful sand beach.
Walk to the beach in 5 minutes along the Llafranc promenade, passing the bakery and the fruteria on your way.
The cliff walk between Llafranc & Calella de Palafrugell, also less than a 5 minute walk from our home is beautiful - and Calella is such a special and unique beach town as well. Walk past Calella to the beautiful botanical gardens of Cap Roig. Catch some wonderful concerts there during the summer.
Our 5 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 story flat has been completely renovated in 2016 and sleeps 11 in bedroom. It has two living rooms, one on each floor, and a roof deck for relaxing - allowing kids and adults separate hang out space after a long beach day. Our entrance is on the 3rd floor of the building… so guests with any mobility issue should keep this in mind. We also have a pool that is shared by 18 home owners but is often just ours to spend time in - perfect for when the kids still have energy after (or before) the beach and parents are ready to relax.
Our beach has a cobblestone promenade with ~12 restaurants open for breakfast, lunch or dinner and all overlook the beach. A Michelin star restaurant is a couple minute walk from our home as well. Gelato and snacks are always steps away from your beach towel. Boat rentals, paddle boards and kayaks are all available for reasonable rental costs from the beach. Scuba excursions are available as well - though we usually just snorkel around our Llafranc beach where you will find hundreds of fish during every snorkel (a little of yesterdays bread brings them to you), starfish almost daily, and Octopus about once per week.
In addition to the beach, Llafranc is a perfect jumping off point to visit the beautiful historic towns of Pals (20 minutes) & Peratallada (25 minutes), the Dali museum in Figueres (50 minutes), the Ruins of Empuries founded by the Greeks in 6th century BC, then Romans in 1st century BC (50 minutes)and many more great locations around Costa Brava and Girona.
