By the way, one of the
Lloret de Mar Indians, Con-
stanti Ribalaga-Yvert, who
left for Cuba invented the
famous Daiquiri cocktail
made of white rum and lem-
on juice with the addition of
cane sugar and ice. On re-
quest, Can Font hosts master
classes on Daiquiri cooking —
luckily, interiors inspire: the
house has a room preserved
designed as a classic
Caribbean rum bar.
Those who are interested
in the history of navigation
(both adults and children)
will be fascinated to visit the
Maritime Museum in the for-
mer home of another Indi-
an emigrant - Enrique Garri-
ga and Mataro who made his
fortune in the construction
business in Cienfuegos in Cu-
ba. The museum tells about
the glorious maritime past of
Lloret in an interactive way.
Another museum dedi-
cated to the marine theme —
this time, it is fishing — is lo-
cated in the town of Palamos
and provides a retrospective
of the development of this
craft from the 16th-17th cen-
turies up to the present. The
museum is located near the
port where local fishermen
leave for the daily catch. It is
very exciting to watch them
coming back: on your eyes
bright red shrimp, mussels,
fish of all possible colors and
sizes leave in boxes from fish-
ing boats... Fresh sea gifts
are quickly moved to a spe-
cial room where they under-
go sanitary control and then
go to the fish auction. The
procedure looks like trading
on the stock exchange, on-
ly instead of shares, fresh
seafood is exposed, and the
rates go down.
The most luxurious apart-
ments and hotels beloved by
celebrities of all kind are lo-
cated in the exclusive re-
sort of S’Agaro, half an hour’s
drive from Lloret, and in Cas-
tell-Platja d’Aro where Sallés
Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi has
a very eccentric Margari-
ta Bonita suite (that’s the
way “loves me, loves me not”
divination on chamomile is
called in Spain) designed for
newlyweds, and for couples
who have decided to refresh
their passion or celebrate
their anniversary. In the
suite with neon lighting like
in a nightclub, there is a tan-
tric bed that moves in differ-
ent angles. The guests receive
an appropriate manual, the
room is decorated with flow-
ers, candles and other attri-
butes of a romantic holiday.
