Lloret de Mar

Lloret del Mar is a Mecqua of mass tourism that attracts hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers every year from numerous countries, but it's also a place that has managed to keep some well-concealed gems: the Gardens of Santa Clotilde or Santa Marta bay offer perfect examples of these. If you're put off by massive seaside buildings, you'll have to endure a short drive to get away from them and discover the natural sights of the region. Lloret del Mar offers all types of services, from the most humble fast food joints to the most elaborate and charming restaurants, from small hotels for small budgets to luxurious 5 star establishments. It's place that shows a surprising mix of swanky hotels and working class neighbourhoods. Sports enthusiasts can try their hand at all sorts of nautical activities, as well as golf, tennis, trekking, or Nordic Walking: the coastline boasts colourful and well preserved landscapes, providing the ideal setting for their activities. In July 2010, the inauguration of Catalonia's 4th casino was a huge event: it has a surface area of 1500m², a Michelin star restaurant, and a conference room; it will undoubtedly quickly become a place that no true gambler should miss.
