Llagostera (in Catalan; Valencian pronounced as /ʎəɣusˈteɾə/) is a municipality in the comarca of the Gironès in Catalonia, Spain. During the 20th century, it was known for the production of cork and derived articles. It is located 20 km south of Girona and 15 km west from the Mediterranean Sea.
Between 1892 and 1969, Llagostera was connected to the city of Girona and the port of Sant Feliu de Guíxols by the narrow gauge Sant Feliu de Guíxols–Girona railway. The line has since been converted into a greenway.[2] [3]
Llagostera is the smallest town ever to have a team in the top two divisions of Spanish football, UE Llagostera. They won the 2020 Copa Federación de España.
