Pull's & Iberics: The Plastic Palace & The Real Thing, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  On our first visit to Blanes we stopped at what I call "The Plastic Palaces" along the beach. These are usually small nearly outdoor bars selling snacks, cold drinks and teas and coffee. On our first visit we enjoyed a cool vitamin enriched fruit juice as it was early in...

Lloret's Night Spots: Moonlight over Lloret, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  I'm not much of a nightlife person and was only once out in the dark when we returned from a day away. I could have been forgiven for thinking I was back in Scotland when I spotted the names on the bars :) but we really don't have this kind of tat back home!! We had a... 

The Londoner: A Nice Club

The Londoner: A Nice Club, Lloret de Mar

 Propermark Says:  With a name like this.. I couldn't miss it! I went here the first very night I was in Lloret and we had fun! The entrance fee is 12 euro and you get two drinks for free. We spent almost all the first night here and inside we met German and French girls and some boys from... 

Transportation  

Direct Bus to Barcelona

Direct Bus to Barcelona, Lloret de Mar

 SLK Says:  Take the orange SARFA bus from the main bus station in Lloret to go direct to Barcelona. It's a one hour trip. Buy your tickets to Barcelona and for your return. It costs about E9.60 each way. Best get there early as it books up fast. There are two stations in Barcelona,... 

Boat trips straight from the Beach

Boat trips straight from the Beach, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  If you want to visit some of the coves and nearby resorts a boat trip maybe an option for you. The boats we saw departed from Fennals beach and was going to the harbour at Blanes. The boats sail every thirty minutes from 9.15 to 17.40 at a cost of 12 euros return just a bit... 

Shopping  

Blanes Farmer's Market: Fresh Fruit & Vegetables Spices & Flower

Blanes Farmer's Market: Fresh Fruit & Vegetables Spices & Flower, Lloret de Mar

The market is open mornings only Monday through to Saturday. We did see lots of fields of vegetables growing on the... 

Local Customs  

Discipline and Children

Discipline and Children, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  We past the local primary school here in Lloret a fair few times usually on our way to the bus station. We both work in our local primary school and were naturally drawn to the sound of children at play. The school like ours has two seperate playgrounds, one for older... 

Two different languages

Two different languages, Lloret de Mar

 Propermark Says:  Here in Lloret De Mar as in the rest of Catalunya region people speaks two languages: Catalan and Spanish Castilian. I've always studied Castilian but I have to say that Catalan was more similar to Italian language and maybe to Sicilian dialect.... strange but true! 

Warnings and Dangers  

Bag Snatching

Bag Snatching, Lloret de Mar

 SLK Says:  I didn't see this but heard about it whilst talking to a lady at the airport. Apparently a lady was sitting at a bar with her bag on the table, a man ran past, grabbed it and ran off. Of course trying to give chase in flip flops was never going to work.After nearly getting... 

You may not like the views

You may not like the views, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  I came to Lloret under no illusions of seeing great views from the hotel or indeed any other views from the resort. Here they tore nearly everything down to create a hotel land. I do like reflective photography and could not resist snapping the warning triangle on the... 

Tourist Traps  

Main road from the beach to the bus station

Main road from the beach to the bus station, Lloret de Mar

 SLK Says:  I would say the whole of the main drag and a couple of side streets leading from the beach towards the bus station is a tourist trap. Not that anyone is really pushy but it reminds me of Blackpool with store keepers encouraging you to come in. Keep smiling, shake your head,... 

Hiking route - what you see on is not what you get

Hiking route - what you see on is not what you get, Lloret de Mar

 dainiusm Says:  There quite a few alternatives for hiking in the surrounding areas of Lloret. Local tourist bureau issues a nicely compiled map of hiking routes. BUT - it is not as friendly, as it may seem from the map. There are very few signs directing you along the way. If you think it... 

What to Pack  

Don't go bare foot around the beach

Don't go bare foot around the beach, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:   The Costa Brava is known as the fierce coast and the rough sand - resembling very small hard stones can be a killer on your feet. Sandals and flip flops are OK but if the sea is kicking up a storm trainers or walking shoes are much more comfortable. The sand won't get so... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Plaza Constitucion

Plaza Constitucion, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  Plaza Constitucion in Calella is where you will find the government buildings along with some smart restaurants and some small tourist shops. The Plaza is currently under some refurbishment with many of the buildings being cleaned. They have already created some seating here... 

Stroll of the Sea

Stroll of the Sea, Lloret de Mar

 scottishvisitor Says:  Calella's Stroll of the Sea is named in recognition of Manuel Puigvert the town's former mayor from 1895 - 1904 A shady avenue lined with dwarf ornamental sycamores makes for a pleasant stroll and I would imagine a perfect place to sit to avoid the summer's heat, the weather... 

Favorites  

Blue Skies and Palm Trees

Blue Skies and Palm Trees, Lloret de Mar

 Cynthia22 Says:  I love the beaches in Lloret, in the winter months (March in particular) it is not yet crowded and most days it is warm enough to walk along the shore and sit in the sun. I miss the narrow streets, the people, the atmosphere. To some it may seem crowded and not much to see...
