EXCLUSIVE SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY FARMHOUSE FOR SALE IN LLAGOSTERA
Llagostera, which is located at the southern end of the Gironès region, is a municipality of more than 8,000 inhabitants located 20 km from Girona and 15 minutes from the best beaches of the Costa Brava, which is why it is known as the gateway to the Costa Brava. The town borders the municipalities of Santa Cristina de Aro, Caldes de Malavella, Tossa de Mar and Cassà de la Selva.
To the east, Llagostera is integrated into the wooded area of the Gavarres massif (PEIN), while in the north and northwest it enters a plain of crops. In the extreme south, a large part of the municipality occupies the Ardenya massif, a natural area of great ecological and scenic interest.
Its strategic location has made it a land of passage and connection between the interior and the Costa Brava. In Llagostera you can get there by the C-65 roads, from Girona to Sant Feliu de Guíxols, by the GI-674 of Caldes de Malavella or by the C-35 of Tossa and Vidreres, a road that connects with the AP-7 motorway.
As for the history of the town, since the Palaeolithic there is knowledge of inhabited nuclei within the area that currently occupies the municipality. During medieval times, Llagostera – only made up of the old town circles by the wall – became a barony in 1375. From the eighteenth century onwards, thanks to a prolific cork industry, which was for many years the engine of the economy, Llagostera has not stopped growing until today it has become a municipality of more than 8,000 inhabitants.
The municipality offers visitors the tranquillity and beauty of a natural environment between the protected areas of the Les Gavarres massifs and the Puig de Cadiretes. Apart from a walk -on foot, by bicycle, on horseback...- in our city, the visitor can also get lost in the urban area and enjoy different tourist proposals. A walk through the old town of Llagostera allows you to take a tour of numerous buildings of important historical interest, some of them listed as an Asset of National Interest.
The Wall Route includes, among others, the Parish Church of San Félix (17th century), the castle (14th-15th century), the viewpoint of the Plaza del Castillo and the viewpoint of the Torre de la Cárcel, both offering visitors a view of the Gavarres and the Pre-Pyrenees. The Interpretation Centre of the history of Llagostera, Can Caciques, is a dynamic and active facility that invites visitors to discover the three most significant of the town's past. It is located in Can Caciques, a house built taking advantage of one of the towers of the medieval wall from the fourteenth century.
Along the streets of the centre we also find buildings in the modernist style, Noucentista style or the result of the economic splendour that emerged from the cork industry of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, such as the Casino Llagosterenc, the Agrícola or Can Coris, which make up the so-called Architectural Route.
Llagostera stands out in the region for its wide range of socio-cultural activities, some of which go beyond the strictly local sphere. The following fairs are examples:
The Roman market. On Palm Sunday, the Roman Market offers visitors a step back in time through a market with traditional products, a manai camp, archery and belly dancing demonstrations, horse activities, gladiator fighting, children's games, fire show, Roman gastronomy and many more activities.
Feria del Batir. Every year at the end of July, Llagostera celebrates the Harvest and Threshing Festival. This is an initiative of the groups of farmers, farmers and hunters of Llagostera in order to show what their task is and what tradition they come from. Among the scheduled activities, there are demonstrations of the beating, log cutting contest, concentration of old cars and motorcycles, traditional music, parades of giants, trade fair of the Union of Merchants, contest of milking the cow, etc.
Mushroom Fair. It is the fair par excellence of the Girona region. Every October 12, Llagostera celebrates the Mushroom Fair with a series of activities that last throughout the day in the old town of the municipality. You can find a traditional market, mushroom hunting competitions, talks, conferences, exhibitions, awards ceremony... In 2012 the tenth anniversary was celebrated, consolidating the Fair with more than 15,000 visitors.
Throughout the year, Llagostera organises 4 gastronomic days, linked to the fairs mentioned above, which promote local and seasonal products through the different menus proposed by the restaurants in Llagostera that are members of the Restaurant Association.
For Easter, from the most traditional dishes to the most daring, inspired by the Cuisine of the Romans. The campaign is part of the activities of Holy Week and the Roman Market that is celebrated every year on Palm Sunday.
Coinciding with the Festa Major de Llagostera, the restaurants prepare and offer several menus with the most typical and traditional dishes of Catalan cuisine.
At the end of July and framed within the events of the traditional Beating Fair, the restaurants of Llagostera offer summer, fresh and traditional dishes with products from the countryside and the orchard.
The Mushroom Fair (October 12 of each year) kicks off the Mushroom Gastronomic Days where mushrooms are the main protagonists of the menus. Llagostera has a great mushroom tradition rooted for centuries thanks to the fruitful forests of the Gavarres and the Ardenya where the precious and sought-after eggs of kings and always tasty chanterelles and mushrooms come from.
In addition, throughout the year, and especially in summer, various cultural activities, concerts and theatre are organised, as well as open-air dances and popular dinners.
Between the end of May and the beginning of June (seven weeks after Easter), Llagostera celebrates its main festival. There are five days to enjoy leisure and show off the town, to project a sign of identity, tradition and modernity. Among the events of the Festa Major de Llagostera we can find sardanas, dances, concerts, theatre, correfoc, entity tents, wheelbarrow race, black pudding contest, children's chocolate...
