Lloret de Mar is considered to be one of the Mediterranean's most popular resorts and certainly the liveliest holiday spot on this stretch of the Spanish coastline. There's enough British bars, discos, organized beach antics to keep the most hardened reveller happy. The resort also offers a wealth of entertainment and five safe, sandy beaches. Europe's biggest water park, an aquatic zoo and the Universal Studios Port Aventura Theme Park are all within easy reach. It has 2,500 hours of annual sunshine and is just one hour and fifteen minutes from the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona.
Sights and Culture: *Sant Pere del Bosc chapel - a 15th Century Benedictine chapel restored baroque style in the 18th Century – located 5 km from the town. *The Town Hall – in neo classical style constructed in 1872. *Casas Garriga – late 19thc houses typical of those built by American emigrants who returned to Lloret having made their fortune and built palatial mansions with their wealth. *Santa Clotilde gardens beautiful gardens and sculptures set in a natural amphitheatre overlooking the sea.

At your destination
Banks and Money: The easiest way to buy obtain euros is by using a credit card at the cashpoints which are located at five minutes walking distance from the hotel. You can buy small amounts, as often as you like, at any time, without queuing. You will need to know your P.I.N. Bank opening hours are normally 9.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. Banks will change cash, travellers cheques and will sell you currency on your credit card providing the lines are open. You will always need to show your passport at a bank.
Tipping is generally not that common in Spain. There is no need to tip taxis but it is usual to leave a 5 - 10% tip at a restaurant if you are particularly pleased with your dinner/lunch.
We feel our tour hosts work hard to give you an exceptional holiday and sometimes you may find that they add some special touches which are beyond the call of duty. If you agree with us, you might wish to show your appreciation by way of a tip. You can do this by putting money in an envelope on your own or by getting together with other guests. This evidently is entirely at your discretion.
Making friends with the Locals and people not on the holiday: The dance classes and dance evening events in the hotel at night are exclusive to Dance Holidays clients. Generally, we discourage people who are not on the holiday from joining our activities and we ask for your discretion is this respect. By all means, outside of the itinerary, do mix with other holidaymakers staying in the hotel.
Climate and weather
Weather: Lloret de Mar is located on the Mediterranean coast and so the climate is always mild and nearly always sunny. The beach chiringuitos (cafés/restaurants) are open from around May to October.
