I have been to Lloret twice and have enjoyed visiting it each time. The street leading away from…read morethe beach is full of shops, bars and cafes. There is a lot of choice of shops from soveniers, gifts, jewellery, supermarkets, clothes, shoes, etc. The narrow streets leading away from the main street also have shops on them. Most of the shops have products for very good value. During the season, the shops are open in the evening, the temperature is cooler and more ideal to look round the shops.

Very Nice shopping place. The clothes have a unique style, with the typical striped shirts that…read moreevokes the sea and sailing. I bought two men shirts. They are good quality and fit well. They also sell accessories such as necklaces and bracelets (for men and women). You can ask for a personalized engraving in several items, which is nice. The shop owner is nice and available. I recommend this place, maybe one of the few in platja daro where you can find good quality clothing.

They also serve the best patatas bravas (spicy potatoes) in the town. In summer there is a large terrace outside where you can eat and drink and in winter there is a large interior including a proper glassed-off non-smoking area (important in Spain if you don't like to eat and smell smoke at the same time!). On a Sunday people come to play cards, watch the football on TV or play on the table football and it is a very relaxed atmosphere.

I've been to Girona a few times now, and I always make a point of stopping at Bike Breaks-Girona Cycle Centre. This last time, we were staying an hour away on the coast and we drove in on a stormy day just before closing so I could go back to the place I consider the #1 cycle clothing shop on the planet. I got there right as they were closing in the rain, and they stayed open later for me just so I could nerd out. And it's easy to do so in a place where you can actually buy cycling clothing and equipment previously owned by real pros! And for, like, nada. If this were in California, I'd be paying hundreds of dollars for a jersey I just got from a top-20 Tour de France pro for 50 euros. Beyond the clothes, they also rent some great bikes, sponsor a lot of local bike-related events, do tours, and even have downloadable local routes ridden by local pros (I saw a bunch last time I was there, including a couple of pro teams riding together). I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this place is the best. And when you can't make it in person, you can order online (in fact, there's more online now than in the store). This last time I finally got to meet Dave, the founder, and his wife and daughter. Super excellent humans, all of them, and a business more than worthy of this review.
