| Lloret de Mar is situated in the southern part of the Costa
Brava, 70 Km away from Barcelona. This former fishermans village covers 48
square kilometres, and has five main beaches along a 7 Km of coastline. Its
beaches have been awarded the blue flag by the EEC, bearing witness to the
perfect state of beaches in terms of quality of the water, sand and services
provided.
The history of Lloret goes back to the third century BC throughout that
long history, though being a dynamic and modern tourist town, Lloret has
managed to sustain its personality and preserve those distinguishing traits
and traditions that only the passage of time can instil.
In addition to the broad range of services, there are also cultural,
architectural and natural attractions, and all these, along with the two
historic villages dating back to the Iberian period, make up an overall
package of meeting diverse and demanding requirements.
Lloret is regarded as one of the best-endowed tourist centres in terms of
sports facilities, and its many options in shopping, leisure and cuisine,
along with its hotel, camping and apartment provision, bring it to the
forefront of the country's tourist areas in terms of quantity, variety and
quality.
Within a radius of less than 100 Km, Tossa de Mar, Barcelona, Girona,
Figueres (with its Dalí museum) and Montserrat can all be visited.
There is a scheduled, daily bus service to Barcelona, Girona and various
destinations inland, with links to the main cities of Spain and Europe.
Barcelona City and its airport El Prat can also be reached in combination
with the train service (6 Km away), with connections with most of the
European cities as well.
Traditional town festivities and folklore run all year round in the
scheduled events and novelties.
