The Laurel of the Sea
Lloret de Mar's 1 of the Mediterranean's most popular resorts. With sandy beaches and clear sea it's a real paradise for practising all sorts of activities.
The opening picture's really 1 of few postcards showing all the landmarks of the place:
- top left - the monument of Sardana dancers (the Sardana dance's the traditional folk dance, the emblem of Catalonia )
- top right - the castle on the beach
- bottom left - the palm avenue

The name Lloret's believed by some historians to come from the Latin word Lauretum, meaning 'the place of the laurels.'
