Catalan Towns near Lloret

 Places to visit near to Lloret de Mar

Not far from the Costa Brava coast are a number of beautiful medieval villages, and two friends of mine Svein and Mercè  recently told me about the one pictured here - Peratallada, and in the words of Mercé "Its absolutely gorgeous!"

On the way to Peratallada you have stunning mountain views which just now are still covered in snow, and after arriving at this gorgeous little town you will find not only is it free parking but there are so many typical Catalan restaurants that you are spoilt for choice of where to have lunch!  

Only about a one hour drive from Lloret de Mar and you can be taking a leisurely stroll through these pretty little streets of this well kept medieval town!

Lloret de Mar beach

 This weekend the rough sea has been constantly battering the beach again in Lloret but just look how different the beach looks this morning! Instead of the metal walkways hanging in midair as they were the sand is now back to more or less as it was before all the damage caused in February.

 Below is just a reminder of the damaged beach last month!

Lloret de Mar - Montseny views

Looking towards Barcelona from Lloret de Mar you can see what is the highest mountain in this region south of the Pyrenees -  'Montseny' National Park at its highest point is 1,706 mts which during the winter months we  can clearly see covered in snow from Lloret. Yesterday however it was a beautiful clear day with bright sunny skies and a very mild temperature so we were able to get these shots of the mountain from not quite at the top!
