Llampaies

Village · Saus, Camallera i Llampaies, Alt Empordà, Girona

Llampaies is the smallest of the three villages of the municipality of Saus, Camallera i Llampaies, in the Alt Empordà, centred on a small hill overlooking the rest of the buildings. Unlike the other two, which formed part of the Bailiwick of Verges at the end of the seigneurial regime, Llampaies belonged to the Vegueria Estreta of Girona in the early 19th century. In 1846 its territory was incorporated, together with that of Camallera, into the municipality of Saus, which took its current name in 2006 to better identify the three villages. It retains the church of San Martín, of Romanesque origin with a single nave, together with its rectory, and several 16th-century houses, such as Can Gil or the Bòbila de Llampaies. It celebrates a winter patronal festival dedicated to its patron saint. It has 91 inhabitants in the village (2022).
