Llafranc holidays – Intimate upmarket resort in a picturesque setting
Holidays in Llafranc appeal to those looking for a small quiet and rather upmarket Costa Brava resort with a fine sandy beach and beautiful surroundings. Llafranc holidays are based in an atmospheric little town in a picturesque bay in the middle of the Costa Brava, between Tamariu and Calella de Palafrugell, 25 miles east of Gerona airport. Llafranc holidays feature a small resort retaining a good deal of charm and Mediterranean character, considered one of the prettiest on the Costa Blanca. Llafranc is an intimate resort with whitewashed streets and exclusive hillside villas. Holidays in Llafranc offer something of a village atmosphere, its pleasant shaded bars and seafront cafes enjoying a relaxed easygoing feel sometimes missing in the larger Costa Brava beach resorts.
Llafranc Beach holidays – A pretty bay with romantic waterfront dining
Holidays in Llafranc focus on Llafranc beach; a perfectly curved sandy beach on a small picturesque bay backed by wooded hills. Sandy Llafranc beach has safe swimming, an attractive harbour and a pretty beachside promenade with some nice romantic waterfront dining. Holidays in Llafranc are not for those seeking wild nightlife. Llafranc holidays nights are most likely spent relaxing in the pretty square or sampling a selection of restaurants offering a little more than the standard Costa Brava menu, with excellent seafood, fish and Catalan cuisine on offer. There are plenty of quiet romantic spots along the Llafranc beach promenade, particularly when the daytime visitors have departed.
Llafranc holidays – Fine coast walks to neighbouring Costa Brava resorts
Holidays in Llafranc are not complete without walking from Llafranc beach to the lighthouse at Cap Sant Sebastian for fine views of the rugged coastline. Llafranc holidays can also include easy coast walks to the slightly larger resort of Calella de Palafrugell and to the equally charming beach at Tamariu. Both resorts complement Llafranc well, and offer plenty more bars and restaurants to discover. Holidays in Llafranc are well-placed for visiting the botanical gardens at Cap Roig, the medieval town of Pals and the lovely Gothic old centre of Gerona. Llafranc holidays could also include a variety of boat trips. Llafranc holidays offer excellent diving on the submerged mountains of Els Ullastres which can also be viewed by glass-bottomed boats.
