Living in Llançà

Llançà is a quiet northern Costa Brava town of 5,000, its old core set back among orchards and vineyards a little inland, its harbour grown into a low-key resort among crystal-clear coves. It has a mixed population for its size — French, Moroccan and other communities leaving about four in five residents Spanish-born. The climate is Mediterranean, warm summers near 31°C, mild winters around 10°C. A hospital at Figueres is about twenty minutes away and Girona under an hour, with the rocky coves of Cap de Creus just south — an unhurried alternative to the busier resorts down the coast.

Numbers: Spainability town dataset, derived from INE, AEMET, Mitma and the Catastro. Registered long-let rent is SERPAVI declared-contract data; its p25–p75 values show the observed band. Registered-rent yield is gross, excludes costs and is never imputed. Percentile chips count only the municipalities that report the figure — the "of n" says how many. Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
