Holidays in Lloret Da Mar

Spain Main Guide

Lloret da Mar is located in Catalonia, a region of north-eastern Spain. The resort lies more or less midway between the historic cities of Girona and Barcelona. Most visitors arrive via one or the other of these cities. Transfer time from Barcelona is about 1 hour. From Girona it is about 45 minutes.

The area is known as the Costa Brava, or 'Wild Coast' for good reason. In between the excellent beaches lie dramatic rock formations and hidden coves. Catalonia is popular with golfers, with 9 major courses in the region. The PGA Catalunya course is considered to be one of the top ten in Europe.

Lloret da Mar is a popular 'party' destination. With a vibrant nightlife and large numbers of bars and discos to choose from, it is one of the liveliest resorts in the area, though a good party atmosphere can also be found in Calella and Estarit.

Visitors wanting sun and sand won't be disappointed. Lloret da Mar has a sand-and-shingle beach that shelves steeply into the sea, creating ideal conditions for diving. Watersports fans can also find other watersports on offer, ranging from windsurfing and sailing to pedal boats.

Elsewhere in the region, things are more sedate, and well suited to those wanting to get away from the mayhem for a while. Visitors can explore the traditional villages, listening to Spanish guitars while sipping wine or sangria in peace and quiet.

The region is also famous for its tradition and history. Visitors can get a taste of old Spain joining in the traditional Sardana, a dance performed every week in Lloret da Mar. Even among the clubs and bars, traditional life goes on in picturesque clusters of historic cottages set amid the more modern buildings.

Girona has an impressive Gothic cathedral which is well worth a visit. Barcelona also has a wealth of history in addition to art galleries, impressive architecture and of course the chance to go shopping.

Lloret da Mar offers accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. Many hotels were built in the 1960s and 70s, but have been renovated and kept up to date. Alongside these are more modern establishments plus apartment complexes and private villas. Most hotels and aparthotels require gentlemen to wear long trousers to dinner.

Lloret da Mar receives visitors from all over the world, so it should be no surprise that the restaurants offer an extremely cosmopolitan range of dishes. Food from all over the world is on offer. However, Catalonia does have its own traditional cuisine which includes seafood and other quintessentially Spanish dishes such as paella. The region is also famous for its wines, adding to the eating-out experience. A most unusual meal can be had at Castle Valtordera, where mediaeval feasts are held on a regular basis.

Many visitors come to Lloret da Mar for the nightlife, and are rarely disappointed. The resort boasts a great many nightclubs, discos and bars.

Visits to Barcelona and Girona are well worth the trip, combining shopping and eating out with history and culture. Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and unique architecture will interest many visitors, while Girona has its own little slice of history in the form of the old Jewish Quarter.
