Activity itinerary

La Dona Marinera

Start the tour at a small rocky hill sticking out above the sea where stands the emblematic statue of Dona Marinera, depicting a fisherman’s wife waiting for her husband to return. From the perfect viewpoint, you can take in the terrific vistas and hear the echo of the Indian past when local men sailed to the other side of the Atlantic to make a fortune. Try touching her feet while looking in the direction of her gaze for your wishes to come true!

Ajuntament de Lloret de Mar

Proceed to stroll along a scenic built-in-into-rock pathway leading to the city centre to admire the elegant 17th-century Town Hall and its picturesque square. An array of lovely cafes nestling under white arcades and lush palm trees offers a break from the sun heat for holidaymakers, adding to the vibes of the seafront square.

Església de Sant Romà de Lloret de Mar

Next, move further inland to marvel at the mind-blowing Church of Sant Roma. The Islamic-style explosion of colour all over the domes, spires, and mosaic walls gives the Catalan Gothic gem a bohemian appearance. What’s more, you will have a chance to listen to thrilling stories about the unique church serving as a fortress during pirate raids during the 16th century.

Lloret de Mar

Then, explore the vibrant Saint Peter Street, offering whatever you expect in the biggest shopping street of a beach city: the indistintive chattering and bargaining sounds, colourful displays of clothes, swimming costumes, towels, accessories, etc. and the aroma of hearty Catalan foods, most notably a nice assortment of fresh fruit and vegetables. A feast for all your senses!

Lloret de Mar

Leaving the bustle and hustle, take a calming stroll at Lloret de Mar’s most popular promenade, Agusti Font Promenade. Running along the scenic beach, the breezy pathway is ideal for watching holidaymakers relaxing on the beach and soaking up romantic views of the endless sea seamlessly blending in with the vast sky into a mesmerising horizon.

Poblat ibèric de Turó Rodó

At the end of the promenade lies the mysterious Iberian Town Of Turo Rodo. Not excavated until the beginning of the 21st century, the archaeological site consisting of mud cottages dating to as early as 200 BC attracts history lovers to take a glimpse into the curious ancient coastal settlement.

Castell de Sant Joan (Sant Joan Castle)

25m
Admission ticket not included

Finally, it’s time for a break in the breezy bar on top of the enchanting Castle of Lloret, perching on a rock hill and overlooking the sea. Chilling with nice tropical drinks and beautiful seascapes in a calming atmosphere is perfect to unwind after the exciting walk. And if you are interested in learning more about climate change, don’t forget to check out the virtual reality museum inside the castle for an unforgettable immersive experience!
