Llagostera Holidays

Llagostera Holidays – An excellent country base for Gerona and Costa Brava beaches
Llagostera holidays are based in an attractive Catalan town surrounded by fine countryside, 12 miles south of the lovely medieval city of Gerona and just 10 miles from popular sandy Costa Brava beaches. Llagostera is ideal for those looking to escape the crowds of the beach resorts and taste the atmosphere of Catalonian country life while remaining close to a varied and famous stretch of Mediterranean coastline. The resort features a fine Catalan town surrounded by open fields dotted with the sturdy farmhouses characteristic of the region. It is ideally placed for enjoying a varied stretch of rugged Costa Brava coastline, whether small upmarket resorts like Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu or the famous bigger beach resorts like Tossa de Mar and Platja d’Aro. At the same time Llagostera provides an ideal base for visiting the wonderful medieval centre of Gerona with its splendid Gothic monuments; a fine contrast to the Costa Brava beach resorts.

Llagostera Holidays – Ideally placed for dozens of varied excursions
With your own transport, Llagostera offers an extraordinary range of excursions. The town is a scenic ten-minute drive to the coast and just 25 minutes from Gerona.
