Llofriu is a peaceful mediaeval village, located in the northwestern part of Palafrugell, at the foot of the Gavarres hills and with a population of around 270, formed by groups of houses and surrounded by agriculture and livestock. In the old quarter there is the church and the former schools, now Bassa-Rocas Cultural and Social Centre. We also find Mas Pla, Josep Pla’s country house, as well at his tomb in the cemetery.
