Holidays in Lloret de Mar – The largest and liveliest resort on the Costa Brava
Lloret de Mar is located in the largest bay on the Costa Brava, with its’ beautiful pine-clad coastline full of secluded coves. The main beach here is a recipient of the Blue Flag award, this small stretch of sand and shingle is ideally positioned in the town centre, offering a multitude of facilities, from every watersport imaginable to organized beach games. This beach gets extremely crowded, so many holidaymakers travel to the other beaches in the Lloret de Mar area, such as Platja de Fenals, Platja de sa Boadella and Platja de San Christina, all just a couple of kilometers away. The streets behind the waterfront are packed with shops selling goods mainly catering to the tourist trade, but some good deals can be found on locally made leather and linen. Hotels here are primarily 1 and 2 *, offering cheap and cheerful accommodation, and cater to the young crowd and the many groups who frequent the resort. Food and drink in the town is extremely reasonable, with a huge array of international food, particularly British- style pub grub and fast food, however the old town does have a number of traditional Catalan bars and cafes serving the local ‘menu del dia’.
