When people think of Spain, most think of Barcelona or Madrid, but have you ever heard of the town of Lloret de Mar? Lloret has a lot of options for both tourism and relaxation. There are plenty of beautiful, clean beaches in and around the town, lots of landmarks, a water park, and many friendly people to just chat with. Fans of bars and cocktails will also have a great time here, as there are many bars around the beach that even prepare liter-sized drinks.
Since we don't know exactly when you'll arrive, we can't plan any trips for this day, but I think you'll be traveling plenty anyway. The best connection from Barcelona airport is by train to Blanes and then by bus from Blanes to Lloret. After that, it's just a short walk to the hotel. Feel free to adjust your plans for the day based on your arrival time.
Under the airport, there is a train station from which you can easily take a train directly to Blanes - train link here.
You can always find connections and transport like this.
- Whenever you take a train, you always buy your ticket at the station ticket machines. If you take a bus, the bus driver will always sell you the ticket.
Today we'll head out on foot along the trail from Lloret de Mar to the town of Tossa de Mar. You'll walk past various viewpoints overlooking both the sea and the towns themselves. You can look forward to alleys of fruit trees – from oranges to so-called strawberry trees (Arbutus unedo). You'll pass by various majestic structures such as Castell de Lloret and Muralles de Tossa de Mar. This route is just under 18 kilometers long, and I recommend sturdy footwear.
A cute little castle right by the beach, with a cafe perfect for chilling out. There are various trails around the castle, and you'll follow one of them to reach today's destination: Tossa de Mar.
- You can find the link to today's full route here.
A beautiful spot below the cliff where the waves crash against the rocks. For me, it's also one of the most photogenic places on the entire route.
A lookout point located on the edge of Lloret. You'll see the vast sea and maybe spot a cormorant flying by now and then. The path continues along the sea until you reach the stairs leading into town
Here you can visit the harbor and one of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in the area. I recommend taking a longer break here and maybe even going for a swim.
Here, the natural paths and trails mostly turn into urban paths and roads. At the same time, there are also many so-called strawberry trees (Arbutus unedo) with edible fruits that really taste like strawberries. These trees will accompany you all the way to our final destination, Tossa de Mar.
The biggest stop today is at the Tossa de Mar castle complex. Entry is free and the whole area is yours to explore. Don't hesitate to check out everything the castle has to offer; walking along the ramparts and visiting the tower is definitely a highlight.
Part of the castle complex is also this church ruin, which you will definitely pass by. On the way back from Tossa to Lloret, you'll take a bus; you can buy tickets from the driver, and you can find the current timetable here.
There's nothing big planned for today. Enjoy the city vibe, go for a swim in the sea, try some local food, and grab a drink. Just relax and soak up the atmosphere of this tropical city.
The perfect spot for a dip in the sea. A beautiful, clean sandy beach right below the town gives off that relaxed holiday vibe, yet it stays free of tourist crowds for most of the year.
A restaurant we've vetted that features local products. I recommend trying the local beer and not being afraid to take a risk with an unknown dish. We've really enjoyed our meals every single time.
Huge drinks, lots of fruit, and colorful lighting throughout the bar - that's the 1001 Beach Club.
Today, a walk to the other side towards Blanes awaits you. You'll head along the sea cliffs again, combined with beautiful local nature. Along the way, you'll encounter many beaches and interesting historical structures, such as the jewel of the entire route, Castell de Sant Joan near Blanes. You'll wrap up the trip with a stroll through the town of Blanes and a visit to the rock viewpoint on the beach.
Our trip today starts on the opposite side of the beach from where we went the day before yesterday. The first place we visit is a statue overlooking the sea and a rest area.
- You can find the link to the map with the entire hiking trail here.
On our way, we'll reach our first beach on the road to Blanes, which is Playa de Fenals.
After hiking up the hill, we'll get our first views of Blanes. We're currently standing at the ruins of Saint Joan castle.
After many stairs and hills, we'll make it to the beach in Blanes, which is our final stop.
There's also this rock formation with a view on the beach. It's one of the more popular spots nearby, so expect some company, but don't worry—just enjoy the moment there. This is also the last attraction on our trip, and all that's left for today is the bus ride back to Lloret.
- You'll take the same bus back from Blanes to Lloret that you arrived on the first day. You can find the timetable here.
The journey here and back again. Once more, you're in for a bus and train ride to the airport in Barcelona.
