7 Castell Plaja - Distance from centre of Lloret de Mar : 300 m, Castell Plaja castle stands north of Lloret de
Mars main beach Playa de Lloret above the small, adjoining Playa Sa Caleta beach.
This medieval castle from the 11th century originally served as a line of defense against pirates, the Turks, the
English and the French, and was presumably in use up until the 17th century. All that remains now is a tower
which was restored in 1992. The bulk of it was destroyed in 1805 by a British warship during the war which
pitted England against France and Spain. Entrance fee: approx. 3 , Reduced price: approx. 1,50

Fenals beach. Public transport Lloret : Mini-train Carrilet Turstic-Route 3: leaving from the promenade in Lloret

9 The Jardins Santa Clotilde gardins, which were completed in 1919, are the result of a successful attempt to
unite a Renaissance element with the French horticultural knowledge of the constructor Nicolau Maria Rubi o
Tudur with the demands of the contractee, the Marquis de Roviralta. Located on a steep coast between Lloret
de Mar and Blanes are Catalan Noucentisme style, extensive gardens. What is captivating about the gardens is
their geometric shapes and their breathtaking location, directly above the steep slope with a view out onto the
open sea and the Cala Boadella beach below.
At the edge of the gardens, in a meadow directly on the slope, there are several lovely little deckchairs: perfect
for a short, relaxing break with a seaview. Those who are in search of exotic plants would be better served
visiting the botanic gardens in Blanes, Mar i Murtra or Pinya de Rosa, which are, however, inaccessible with
public transport.

10 Gothic style church with Renaissance influence, constructed between 1509 and 1522.
It features several battlement characteristics, including its door. The church initially had only one ship, the others
were probably added during the following two centuries.
The church is home to several 16th centruy Catalan paintings. A total of 9 tablets survived the fire of 1936 (the

beginning of the Spanish Civil War). Right next to it is the Art Nouveau style Capella del Santissim
Sagrament chapel.

18 Jornades de la cuina de l'Art
At this culinary event in October "the Art-Kitchen" fish and seafood take centre stage. The term Art, in this
sense, has nothing to do with painting but denotes a traditional fishing technique, tirada a l'art, which was used
on the Costa Brava up until the 1960s, mainly on Cala Canyelles beach. Here the fisherman would throw out
their nets just a few metres from the beach. This meant that they would mainly catch lots of smaller fish. One
famous Art-dish is Arrs de l'Art, which is rice with various small fish, squid or cuttlefish, onions, garlic, tomatoes
and wine. This dish used to be very popular amongst fishermen who would prepare and eat this rice with their
daily catch down on the beach. During this month a number of restaurants and hotels base their menus on the
motto "Art-Kitchen".
