Llançà suits walkers and families who want a quiet northern Costa Brava town reachable by train from Girona, near the French border. Fewer than half the homes have WiFi, so check before booking if you need it.
Llançà is a fishing port and tourist town of about 4,900 people, on the Costa Brava between Cap de Creus and the French frontier. The N-260 connects it with Figueres and runs on to the border at Portbou. It is a staging point on the GR 92 long-distance path, with a stage of 9.8 km north to Portbou and 20.3 km south to Cadaqués. Cap de Creus, a peninsula of 190 square kilometres that is now a natural park, lies close by. The homes sit within about three kilometres of each other, mostly for four people, and roughly a third have a pool. Check each listing for its distance from the sea.

Girona-Costa Brava airport is the closest, about 50 minutes by road. Ryanair flies from Stansted all year, and Jet2 runs seasonal routes. A bus to Girona and then a train to Llançà takes about an hour and 40 minutes, so a car is not essential.
The coast is often swept by the tramontana, a strong north wind that is a feature of Cap de Creus. About half the homes have air conditioning, and a minority have a fireplace, so check the listing for your dates. Winter flights are thin, as only the Ryanair route from Stansted runs to Girona all year.
