Llançà is one of the hottest spots for real estate speculation on the Costa Brava. Much of the area is built on, and of what remains undeveloped, most It is developable land with the possibility of building, as mandated by the municipal urban planning plan (POUM), approved more than twenty years ago. One problematic area where regulations permit buildings is the pine forest on La Farella beach: one and a half hectares of trees, right in front of the sand, surrounded on both sides by villas and residential developments. This is the last green area right on the seafront along the municipal boundary, between Cap Ras, which is a protected area, and Punta d'en Feliu, towards Port de la Selva. In this pine forest, last July, the Llançà City Council approved the Urban Improvement Plan (PMU) granting permission to the private owner of the plot to build 62 apartments for hotel use.

The dishes served at the Miramar restaurant in Llançà begin with scraps of paper, which chef Paco Pérez collects here and there and repurposes. Small works of art that eventually emerge from the paper to become edible sculptures, with flavor, aroma, and, above all, soul. Paco Pérez, with five Michelin stars, two of them for the cuisine he creates at Miramar, is considered the quintessential artist-chef. "He's always drawing. In a process of daily creativity, he captures each idea in a sketch on paper, to be interpreted and transformed by his team into a dish that often conveys the essence of the Mar de Amunt to the diner," explains the chef's son, the poet Guillem Pérez. Creating from the raw materials provided by the land he loves so much and that inspires him so much is one of Paco Pérez's obsessions, and he demonstrates this with gastronomic offerings such as Arroz en la Barca, inspired by rice dishes that were cooked "on the high seas, without seeing land, breathing the salty air that makes me feel it." Paco Pérez champions the presence in haute cuisine of the humble seaweed found in the waters of the Mar de Amunt, which embrace the Cape of Creus up to Cervera.

The Llançà and Port de la Selva coastal path, approximately 5 km long, connects these two seaside towns at the foot of Cap de Creus, passing by well-sheltered coves, rugged cliffs, and the point of Far de s'Arnella. At many points, the path borders small residential areas and chalets built in the last century, before the coastal law, but it also passes through several unspoiled stretches, without a single house in sight. On one of these natural plots, on a slope of the Sant Pere de Rodes mountain range, next to the last buildings in the urban area of Llançà, the Lanzarote City Council has given the go-ahead to build 90 homes. This is the Super Fener area, which occupies nine plots of approximately 8 hectares, next to the boundaries of the natural park. The council has obtained the approval of the relevant bodies, and the first excavators have already begun work to prepare the land. SOS Costa Brava and Iaeden-Salvem el Empordà, however, have shown themselves radically opposed to this new real estate development: they claim that their objections have not been taken into account and threaten to file an administrative lawsuit with the aim of halting the works.

A total of 70 crews (57 land and 13 air) are working to extinguish a fire between Port de la Selva and Llançà, which started near Cau del Llop housing estate. According to the firefighters' report, the flames, stoked by the wind, reached the bottom of the ravine and are moving up the Santa Creu valley. As a precaution, residents of the housing estates of Santa Isabel, Vall de la Santa Creu and Beleser have been asked to leave their homes due to the proximity of the flames. According to the first estimates of the Forestry Agents, the flames have already devastated an area of 60 hectares, 59 of which are within the Natural Park of Cap de Creus.
