This grand old building which can be seen on the main Blanes road which runs behind Lloret de Mar is one of the oldest buildings in town. It originally started out as a farmhouse later to be fully restored in the 19th century to a luxury summer home. In 1954 it was again restored, this time to become the Hotel Mànana. It has now undergone another face lift and is home to a permanent exhibition of Iberian archaeology, along with housing Lloret's local office of Girona's chamber of commerce and Lloret de Mar's town council. The surrounding land has been landscaped, with new footpaths newly planted tree's, shrubs and a new colourful playground has been installed for the kids.

Lloret de Mar, Route 66
Did you know that we now have our very own American style diner here in Lloret de Mar. The owners Andy & Jackie have worked very hard to achieve something really different in Lloret. They have an excellent menu of steaks, burgers, ribs and pizzas....the list is endless! Route 66 is a fascinating place its walls are full of genuine old style American style diner ads. I recommend you try their special offer menu of 2 meals for the price of one, served between the hours of 3pm and 7pm.
From the tables near the window you have a great views of the most well known sight in Lloret and that is the Castle at the end of the beach...also not fogetting the peaceful view looking out to sea.
You must try ROUTE 66 when here on holiday!

Lloret de Mar Beaches
The local beaches here in Lloret have been awarded the blue flag for several years running now.
These photos just taken only 3-4 days ago show how crystal clear the sea is looking these days With the small rocky coves between Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar scuba diving is a very popular activity, Lloret and Canyelles have their very own diving centres for anyone wishing to learn how to dive or hire equipment. Contact details can be found.....HERE.
To maintain the cleanliness of the beach and the coast line you can see work being carried out all day long! The beach is cleaned and raked every night, and out at sea there is a small boat which continuously sails up and down the coast several times a day picking up any rubbish which is found floating in the sea.
