Lloret de Mar Shopping

As in most European towns and cities the winter sales have now started in Lloret de Mar. Some stores are offering great bargains in some cases with as much as 70% discount. The sales will continue until March 6th, after which I think we will see the usual street sale where all the shops are allowed to bring the last of their sale goods out onto stalls in the street for one last day of the sale.
Traders in Lloret have seen a large decline in trade during the days leading upto Xmas so are hoping that the next few weeks the shoppers will begin to spend a few more euros.

Lloret de Mar Restaurants


Great staff at the Can Guidet
Last night we went to one of our favourite restaurants in Lloret with friends, this is the Can Guidet close to the Olympic Park hotel. We tend to go about once a month and the staff make you very welcome and give excellent service. If you are ever staying in the Olympic Park Hotel just look across the road and you can see the Can Guidet standing in its own grounds surrounded by their own gardens where they grow much of their own produce.

Catalan salad & pan con tomate for starters!
