Semana Santa in Llafranc

Last month the kids had a week off for Semana Santa. We usually stay home in Girona, but I thought it would be fun to have a little holiday close to home. 

Llafranc is a gorgeous little beach town about 40 minutes from our house in Girona. There are only two tiny hotels, so we decided to find a holiday flat. We found the perfect 2-bedroom flat just a few minutes walk from the village of Llafranc.

I love this beach for kids--calm water, nice sand, plenty of restaurants and such nearby., etc. It does get crowded in the summer, but during the rest of the year it is a beautiful spot to visit. The Hotel Llafranc is right on the beach and a perfect place for lunch or drinks. Salvador Dali frequented this village during his time on the Costa Brava. Hemingway also came here for many years, so the local bars are full of stories about both of these legends.

There are some great hikes between Llafranc and Tamariu. We started hiking from El Far and wandered around for a couple of hours before heading back towards Llafranc. You can also walk to Calella de Palagrugell, though we chose to head the opposite direction on this hike.
