Lloret de Mar: what the guidebooks don’t tell you (and you’ll love discovering)

Lloret is far more than just sun and sand. Here are five insider highlights to experience it at its best:

• The Cemetery of the “Millionaires”: not sombre, but a true open-air gallery. Funded by the “Indianos”, locals who returned wealthy from Cuba, it features pantheons designed by disciples of Gaudí. A unique modernist treasure waiting to be explored.

• Santa Clotilde Gardens (HBO setting): Renaissance elegance perched on a cliff. A striking detail: no flowers, only lush greenery, sculptures and endless sea views. Insider tip: scenes from House of the Dragon, prequel to Game of Thrones, were filmed here.

• The “false” Castle d’en Plaja: Lloret’s most iconic photo spot, yet not medieval at all. Built in 1940 as a private residence, it may have sparked debate, but today it defines the coastline’s postcard-perfect image.

• La Dona Marinera and the wish ritual: at the end of the beach stands this beloved statue. Follow tradition: gaze out to the horizon and touch her right foot to make a wish, polished smooth by countless hopeful visitors.

• El Camí de Ronda: for hidden coves without the crowds, follow this coastal path. Just a 15-minute walk reveals turquoise gems like Sa Caleta or Cala Trons, perfect for a more exclusive Mediterranean escape.
