Lloret De Mar hotels - About Lloret De Mar
Lloret de Mar (pronounced [ʎuˈɾɛt dəˈma] in Catalan) is a coastal town in Catalonia on the Mediterranean primarily known as a tourist resort. It is adjacent to Blanes and Tossa de Mar and is 75 kilometers from Barcelona. With a population of 29,445 (as of 2005[update]) it is the second largest town in the Selva comarca (county) of Catalonia. It has a population density of approximately 130 inhabitants per kilometer squared.
During the tourist season, the number of people in Lloret (both inhabitants and tourists) often reaches 200,000 and the town becomes very noisy even at night. For decades it has attracted summer visitors on package tours, mainly from northern Europe, and it is now the most important resort in the Costa Brava. The sand on the beaches is coarse,[citation needed] but is otherwise undistinguished[citation needed] as a result of the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of hotels, apartment blocks, discos, casinos etc.[citation needed]
The nightlife in Lloret attracts an 18-30s crowd mainly from Belgium, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands.
Lloret de Mar beach is a town beach (length: 2 km; width: 15 m; fine white sand), one of the most popular Costa Brava beaches.
There is a medieval fort on the outskirts of the town called "castell de sant Joan", Saint Joan's castle (Lloret was founded in 1001 AD). Many consider a bronze statue overlooking the town to be Lloret's symbol. The sculpture shows a fisherman's wife (Dona Marinera) and it was made in 1966 by Ernest Maragall.
Notable people who have lived in Lloret de Mar include Vanessa Riboloni, Mix Master Flex-A-Tron, Stephen Milburn, Bobby "La Playa" Santana and Roque Romero, the founder of Pops, Lloret's now defunct baseball club.
In July 2008, Lloret de Mar has been the scene of the murder of a young Italian woman named Federica Squarise. Uruguay-born Victor Diaz Silva, a bartender at the Beach, confessed to be the author of the murder and was arrested on July 10th, 2008. The fact has caused much sensation among the public given the young age of the victim and the trivial reasons behind the gesture.
