Hotels in Llançà

Llançà

Llançà is a town and municipality of the Alt Empordà, at the northern end of the Costa Brava, between the Albera range and the Cap de Creus Natural Park. It lies about 20 minutes by car from Figueres and some 1.5 hours from Barcelona. The town has two parts, the old town inland and the port by the sea, and it is one of the few places left on the Costa Brava with an active fishing industry. Its coast counts 14 beaches of different shapes and sizes. The cove-shaped Port beach is a favourite meeting place, Grifeu is among the busiest thanks to its services and setting, and the long pebbly Garbet offers plenty of room. Cap Ras is a rocky headland reached on a path that climbs gently past small pebble coves. A coastal path also links Llançà with Colera to the north. The Cap de Creus Natural Park protects the most north-easterly point of the Iberian Peninsula, close to the town. The R11 and RG1 trains stop at Llançà, and Figueres, with its high-speed station and the Dalí Museum, is the main day trip. It suits families, walkers and anyone looking for water sports and a working fishing port without the bustle of the larger resorts.
