With its idyllic climate, enticing beaches and abundant greenery, the Costa Brava is one of the most breathtaking coastal destinations in Europe. It boasts a wealth of renowned seaside resorts, with the jewel in its crown being Lloret de Mar, which is bursting with history and culture as much as leisure and nightlife. There is enough to fill any itinerary with activities, whether your idea holiday consists of beaches, parties, museums, or a combination of all three. But the chance to take advantage of the region’s astonishing natural beauty is not to be missed, and if you’ve made the trip from Barcelona to Lloret de Mar, it is well worth finding some time in your plans to explore the landscape.

Santa Clotilde Gardens

With stunning views of the Landscaping Santa Fe NM Mediterranean Sea and a lush collection of trees and plants, the expertly sculpted Santa Clotilde Gardens are a perfect way to escape the busier pace of life in the centre. Pines, poplars, cypresses, lime trees, and more line the graceful walks, with gentle stairs following the contours of the cliff-side location, and numerous fountains, pools, and sculptures adding a sense of classical tradition. The gardens were commissioned in 1919, and have been considered one of the area’s finest outdoor spaces ever since. After the transfer from Barcelona to Lloret de Mar, it could make the ideal place to unwind and soak in the splendour of the Costa Brava.

Coastal Walks

Those who like their outdoor time to be a bit more active will find plenty to delight them with the range of coastal walks available around the town and its superb beaches. One of the finest is the Fenals Beach walk; it which winds from the town’s main promenade along the coast, taking in Garbi Point and Sa Caravera Beach, before ascending a hill with spectacular views and then descending to Banys Cove and walking through pine groves to Fenals Point and the striking St. Joan Castle, and finally descending to tranquil Fenals beach. Keen walkers who make the journey from Barcelona to Lloret de Mar should not miss this route.

Sea Kayaking

For a different way to take in the natural splendour of the Costa Brava, try sea kayaking – not only does it offer the chance to explore the coast from the sea, but the views that it provides, looking back across the water, are different from anything that can be seen while on land – not to mention being a quieter and far less crowded way of seeing the coastline. With the lively sea birds that can be seen up close, secluded coves and creeks, caves, and tucked-away beaches, this is a fantastic way to get ‘off the beaten track’ after making the transfer from Barcelona to Lloret de Mar.
