Lloret de Mar

Few towns in Catalonia have a history as closely tied to seafaring and transatlantic trade as Lloret de Mar. Set on the Mediterranean coast of the Costa Brava, it developed from a fishing settlement into a port whose sailors and merchants travelled to the Americas in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Museu del Mar, housed in the former Can Garriga residence, documents this maritime chapter. Inland from the beaches, the parish church of Sant Romà combines a 16th-century Gothic structure with later colourful decoration, while the Santa Clotilde Gardens look out over the coast from a cliffside setting.
