Discover Llagostera: Gavarres, culture and holiday rentals

Llagostera lies within the protected Massís de les Gavarres, a mountain range with ancient geology, gentle relief and diverse substrates.

The Via Verda, also known as the Ruta del Carrilet, runs through Llagostera as a route intended exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, with a very gentle, accessible incline.

The name Ruta del Carrilet is used both for the route through Llagostera and in the form Ruta del Carrilet II. The latter reaches its highest point in the municipality of Llagostera at 149 metres.

At the foot of the Gavarres and the Massís de les Cadiretes, Llagostera offers numerous local routes for hiking, cycling and horse riding. The landscape descriptions refer to different spatial contexts: the municipality lies within the Gavarres, while the local routes run at the foot of both mountain ranges.

Anyone looking for a holiday rental in Llagostera can include the town in their travel plans and then choose suitable accommodation based on their personal preferences.
