Lloret de Mar, located in the southern part of the Costa Brava, is a vibrant resort town and one of the most popular destinations on this stretch of the Spanish coastline, situated 70 kilometres to the northeast of Barcelona. This charming former fishing village spans 48 square kilometres and boasts five main beaches along a seven-kilometre coastline.
The city of Barcelona and its airport, El Prat, are easily accessible via train with connections going beyond, while the local airport at Girona is just a 35-minute drive away. The beaches of Lloret are pristine and offer crystal clear waters, attracting beach lovers and divers alike with many areas of great interest off the rocky headlands.
