What can I do in Llers and its holiday cottages?

In the middle of the Empordà plain and around the ruins of its old medieval castle, we find the village of Llers. A town in the Alt Empordà located on the first slopes of the Salines-Bassegoda and the Garriga d'Empordà that will fascinate lovers of active tourism who, at the same time, want to know the area's architectural heritage.

The history of Llers and its surroundings

Llers has always been a strategic place thanks to its geographical position. In fact, during the county of Besalú it was already a very fortified border square with eleven castles around it. The first document in which the town of Llers is mentioned is found during the second half of the 10th century, when the possessions of the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes are mentioned. However, the history of the town is closely linked to the presence of the castle of Llers, of which there have been news since the 11th century.
