Off-the-radar: UE Llagostera – The tale of a small-town club from Catalonia

In a new off-the-radar series covering other teams in Spanish football, Sarthak Kumar takes us to Llagostera, a small club on the Mediterranean coastline with bigger ambitions.

In the large province of Girona lies a neighborhood called Llagostera. Just 8000 residents reside in this community. This cozy town is so small that it is officially a municipality and is best known for making cork. So while the rest of Spain drinks wine it throws away the one thing - the only thing - this neighborhood is famous for.

Some football teams celebrate for years when they get promoted.
