Spain vs England!




Sant Joans Tower, is situated on top of the hill which seperates Lloret and Fenals beach. The tower dates from between the 11th and 12th century. The castle was built as a watchtower to prevent maritime attacks.

In 1805, a British warship fired salvos some of which destroyed part of the tower and walls, but it was in 1923 that a severe storm finally brought the tower down.

In 1992 it was restored, and now tourists can take pleasure from the fantastic views from the area.

But they are not taking any chances with us Brits again, as it is all fenced off with tall metal railings!!
