'''Llofriu '''(name of Germanic origin) is an aggregate of the [[town]] of [[Palafrugell]] ([[Baix Empordà]]), in [[Catalonia]], Spain. As of 2005, it has 294 inhabitants. The parish church of St. Fruitós, as mentioned in a testament from 1121, was dependent on the priory of Santa Anna of [[Barcelona]] until the seizure (first third of the nineteenth century).

The [[economy]] is based primarily on agriculture and [[livestock]], although the majority of its people work today in Palafrugell, the service sector.
