A Guide To Lloret de Mar.

Finding your way around Lloret de Mar can be quite difficult if its your first visit. The first impression many people get when they arrive is one of a town filled with bars, clubs and souvenir shops which seem to sell exactly the same things whichever one you go in!
They see a long beach with a castle at one end and a statue at the other!

This may be just the kind of holiday you want, but if not, what can you do about it?

To see more of what Lloret de mar has to offer don't be frightened to take a walk though the old streets at the back of town. Here you will find a maze of old dwellings in pretty narrow streets, this is where the locals live.

If you do find you are losing your way, a good rule is to always make your way back down hill, sooner or later you will end up back at the sea front!

On the seafront are the local bus stops, the fares are very cheap. You can catch a small yellow bus to one of the nicest beaches you will ever see - Cala Canyelles. The larger bus No-L2 is a circular route between Lloret and Fenals. With this bus you have no danger of getting lost.

Where ever you get off the bus you can get back on to return to the start of your journey.

Fenals is a quieter area of Lloret with a beach which has been voted the best from the French border down to Tarragona.
