Guide to Lloret de Mar
I spent a month in Lloret de Mar, in an Airbnb run by a Russian family, a short walk from the beach. It’s a town of contradictions, in a good way.

Santa Clotilde Gardens
Santa Clotilde Gardens, perched on a cliff in Lloret de Mar, offer stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Designed in the early 20th century in the Italian Renaissance style, the gardens feature elegant terraces, sculptures, fountains, and lush cypress-lined pathways that create a tranquil, romantic atmosphere.
