Vall-llobrega is a village and municipality in the province of Girona and autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain.

The first evidence of human settlement in the Vall-llobrega area is the Dolmen de Montagut, on the top of Montagut hill between Vall-llobrega and Palamós. Dating from the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC, this has 3 slabs in their original state and the remains of a tomb that these once covered.[4][5]
