Things to do in Lloret de Mar- Casino

The Casino is situated on the main road as you enter Lloret opposite what used to be the bus station and is now a big hole in the ground until it becomes the new bus station.

It cannot really be missed as it has a very brightly lit neon sign. It was the first casino to open in Catalunya. It is open every day of the year.

Monday-Thursday 5:30pm-4am,
Friday-Saturday and bank holidays 5:30pm-5am. (This may vary slightly depending on the time of year).

101 Slot Machines (A record of 74.978 euros was won on a slot machine in 2004).
8 Roulette tables
2 Boule tables (Boule is a slower, smaller version of Roulette)

Advertising in Lloret de Mar!

All this just to advertise bread...

This was taken during the summer of 2005 flying over the beaches of Lloret and Fenals. The helicopter did not look or sound as though it was powerful enough to carry the advertisment. Not seen in the photo is the large weight hanging from below the ad in order to keep it straight!

Lloret de Mar Beach 1950

A similar view of Lloret beach, but taken 50 years earlier.

Amazing- in those days Roca Grossa had not been built on at all. These days they are selling air space for ALOT of money. By airspace I mean the plot for sale is a about 30 metres long and a metre deep and the rest of the plot you pay for (usually at least 500 square metres is a sheer drop over the side of the mountain).

Lloret de Mar beach.

Many people do not appreciate the beauty of Lloret beach.

Some of the best shots can be taken from the rocks between Lloret and Fenals.
The above photo shows the beach, with the Roca Grossa urbanisation in the background.
