Lloret de Mar Tourism

Its been reported in the local press that tourism in Lloret during 2010 saw a slight recovery.  On average the hotels had a 75% occupancy, just a small rise on figures from 2009. The majority of visitors were Catalan and Spanish, along with others from all over Europe.
Hotel owners are pleased that Lloret de Mar is not only dependant on visitors of just one or two Nationalities, and that the town is still a popular holiday destination....although the stays are very much shorter than previous years.

So the town believes that because the hotels are doing well things are looking good .... not if you get out and about and talk to the bar owners and other business owners in town they're not!

Hi!

Do you know when is the Harley Butt festival going to happen this year?
I`m planning a euro tour on bike this summer and I`d like to include Lloret del Mar in my itinerary, so it would be really helpful to know when to go there..
Thanks a lot!
Sebastian

Hi
I have seen on your site that the smoking ban in Spain is now in force and was wondering how its going are they keeping to it?

Hi Jim
Its well and truly in force now just as much as in the Uk, its now been in force since 2nd Jan so everyone just goes outside when they want a smoke. The only difference is that its a bit warmer here! No one mentions it now...old news!
