Lloret de Mar June events

Lets hope that this good weather we're having just now continues into next weekend as we have  a very busy events calendar in Lloret for Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th.  Taking place is the 3rd event of the Fira del Americanos which recreates the era of the late 19th century when many people from Lloret took to the seas and went over to the America's to make their fortune - those who returned with their new found wealth built the large 'mansions' which we can still see examples of on the seafront in Lloret today. All along the promenade will be market stalls and located in front of the town hall will be a replica of the Floridita Bar in the Cuban capital of Havana.

Es Nais and Miss Ling the 'giants' of Lloret will also be out and about this weekend along with 100 or more of their 'friends' from the surrounding regions! All activities over the weekend will be centered around the Town Hall and also the carousel square Placa Pere Torrent. For a full guide to times of events and activities have a look at the events leaflet here - Lloret de Mar events

Lloret de Mar Restaurants

Just on the edge of town is Rodizio Papalus one of Lloret de Mar's best restaurants. As you can see from the photos this restaurant is set in a very nice location, with views of the pool and childrens play area sitting on the terrace here it seems as though you are miles from anywhere! The menu has a wide range of dining options with various set menus for day or night, the daily menu served Mon-Fri is a very reasonable €11, but  for dining with a difference with their true Rodizio experience then visit Papalus one evening for the best Argentinian steaks, and other meats such as lamb, duck, chicken, pork, hot and cold buffets, pasta's, fish dishes and salads.


Papalus is perfect for any dining occasion - couples, groups of friends/relatives, anniversary's, birthdays it really is a special place.

Take a look at their website to see more info and examples of the fantastic choice of dishes @

Lloret de Mar - Santa Clotilde

The peaceful gardens of Sant Clotilde are only a short bus ride away from Lloret de Mar, just take the single deck bright yellow 'L2' bus from any bus stop in Lloret...at present the the fare is just €1.30. Or if you are staying in the Fenals area then you are only a few minutes walk away! Santa Clotilde is a nice way to spend a couple of hours strolling around the gardens from which you have fantastic views of the sea and the rocky Costa Brava coast. 

Designed in the Italian renaissance style by Nicholau Maria Rubio I Tuduri in 1919 the gardens are perfectly 'manicured' and have a large variety of trees, plants and sculptures which line the carefully planned walkways leading to the many terraces and staircases.
