Lloret de Mar Shopping

I wonder if we have a new annual event starting in Loret?


Yesterday [1st May] a large market was held in the El Reiral district, and it was packed! This is now the new location of the weekly market held on Tuesdays, much better than the old site behind the Casino. I gave up going to that one during the summer ages ago it was just impossible to get round!



The 1st of May has always been a day when all [or most] of the shops have closed and the streets around town have been deserted, but yesterday was a different matter. The large supermarkets were closed but just about all the other shops were open and the market it seemed was a huge success. It was a real treat to see many different stalls and real bargains to be had with lots of stalls selling good quality clothes at bargain prices.

The best market I've seen in Lloret yet !

Hi Jackie

Could you give me a better idea of where the new market is.

Thanks

Hi Steve, I'm not sure how well you know Lloret, but hopefully you know the bus station ??
Across from there is the casino and the road which goes out of town between there and the petrol station, it leads up towards the Olympic Park Hotel Suites. If you carry on up this road, the market is just through the next roundabout and stretches nearly as far as the New El Moli bar/restraunt. Hope this is clear I'm hopeless at given directions!
If not let me know and I'll publish a map on the site and mark where the market is held.
