Today we would like to invite you to take a walk along the beach and walking paths along the seashore in the town of Llafranc. Together with the neighboring towns of Calella de Palafrugell and Tamariu, Llafranc is part of the coastline of the municipality of Palafrugell. Fortunately, Llafranc was able to maintain that elusive antic charm which was inherent in typical fishing villages on the Costa Brava before the mass tourism arrived, ruthlessly sweeping away the local flavor and age-old traditions on its way.
In fact – nothing unusual, the typical landscape of this wonderful mediterranean coast: a small town, a beautiful sandy beach with emerald-colored water, framed by rocky shores overgrown with pine trees; unbearably clean air – a real challenge for city dwellers🙂.
We invite you to take a virtual tour in Llafranc.
There are always many boats and yachts of all sizes on a fine day in Llafranc Bay.

The vacationers, satisfied with the sailing trip, return to the Llafranc Yacht Club.

Climbing the steep stairs next to the yacht club, you can get a gorgeous photo with a view of Llafranc as a reward.

From the street above the steep coast, you can take equally beautiful photos of the yacht club and Llafranc Bay.

If you continue your walk along the seashore, in about 20 minutes you will reach a lighthouse located on the top of a cliff at an altitude of 175 meters. Here is also a magnificent hotel-restaurant El Far, housed in a restored inn dating back to the 18th century. The hotel-restaurant is part of the Sant Sebastià de la Guarda architectural complex, which also includes a 15th century watchtower.
The restaurant’s terrace offers unforgettable views of the sea and the coast of the municipality of Palafrugell.
