Everything you need to know about Lloret de Mar
Lloret de Mar is the best-known town on Catalonia's Costa Brava — a walkable centre built around the Sant Romà church, the clifftop Santa Clotilde Gardens, the fairy-tale Castell d'en Plaja folly above the bay, and a seafront promenade lined with cafés. By day it's Catalan old-town lanes, the Maritime Museum and pine-fringed coves; after dark it's one of the coast's liveliest food and nightlife scenes. Spring and early autumn bring warm days, fewer crowds and easy day trips to Tossa de Mar, Girona and Barcelona.
