Lloret de Mar Tourist / Tourism Lloret de Mar is perhaps the best known coastal resort on the Costa Brava, & certainly one of the most popular. This is largely due to the tourist trade, which swells the town's population from around 25,000 to over 200,000 during the summer months. The reason Lloret de Mar became such an attractive destination in the first place has a lot to do with it's pristine coastline & blue flag sandy beaches flanked by countryside of outstanding beauty. It was this natural attraction that was first recognised back in the 1950's when Spain's central government decided that Lloret de Mar (together with a few other towns on the Costa), was an ideal location for development in order to attract tourist income from northern Europe. Large numbers of hotels & apartment complexes were built, wide stretches of coastline adapted, & municipal facilities improved. Soon after works were completed fishing fell behind tourism as the principal business. Lloret de Mar has a lot to offer besides beaches & tourist facilities. After all it has a history dating as far back as the 3rd century BC, even if it didn't get it's name & recognition as a self sufficient town until 1001AD. Two good examples of this heritage come in the form of the Roman Sepulchral (a 2nd century Roman burial tower), & the Santa Clotilde Gardens (fantastic modernist & romantic gardens designed in Italian Renaissance style). Lloret de Mar also has some of the best sports facilities around, with almost all types catered for in the town & a good selection of golf courses outside of it. The varied countryside surrounding Lloret de Mar is favoured amongst those who travel to the area to participate in adventure sports, from hiking & mountain biking to rock climbing & skiing.
