We rested as a couple, from 06/16/2012 to 06/23/2012, we went for new experiences, the hotel was not very important to us, but nevertheless, we spent time there. We had meals: breakfast and dinner. I won’t say anything good about breakfasts, we are not picky, but every day the same thing will bother anyone (scrambled eggs, 2-3 types of sausages, one type of cheese, cereal, and the rest are just rolls of various shapes. Those who follow at least somehow their food will not find anything for itself, except scrambled eggs. Dinners are so-so, but better than breakfasts, tastier and there is at least some choice. For dinner they also give fruits, but they are not the first freshness: cherries with rotten, soft overripe plums burst in hands , watermelons and melons are delicious.
The hotel is large, but not very modern, the territory is well-groomed, there are swimming pools, there is no animation in the evening, a couple of kids dance for about an hour and that's it. Entertainment should be sought outside the hotel. What struck us very much was the large number of elderly people. i. e. the hotel is filled with grandparents from Russia, Spaniards, Germans, etc. When you walk around the city, there are also the most many adults, although Loret is considered a party place, to be honest, this is not the case. One street where discos are located and that's it. Music doesn’t play anywhere in the evenings, cafes are already buried by 00.00, I couldn’t even explain it to myself. Maybe the month of June is the very beginning of the season and that's why it's so dead in the city. Every day we went somewhere, on our own, we chose in advance where we would go. I recommend visiting the neighboring towns of Loreta: Blanes, Tossa de Mar, be sure to go to Barcelona, ​ ​ Girona, and of course to France, if there is time left. We rented a car and saw everything ourselves without a tour. By the way, do not expect that you will be persuaded on the street to visit some interesting places in Spain, this is not Turkey, no one bothers you on the street. We found only the "Russian Center" in the beach area, where you can order excursions and rent a car. The host, or rather our guide Lucia, arrived at a meeting with us, just smiled without trying to tell anything about the sights and did not offer any excursions at all , for us it was wild.
The only use of a guide is a map of the city, with which you can visit the sights of Loret. There is a market on Tuesdays, I won’t name the street exactly, it’s huge, stretching along the canal, but things are simple, worse than in Russia, shoes are generally funny, rude and not aesthetic. At the end of the market, fruit rows, sweets, spices, sausages, cheeses, jamon. Worth a try "Jamon" is very tasty, giant cherries, peaches, sweets are all very tasty.

Since we did not have lunch included, we ate in cafes, every day in different ones. Over the course of the week, food preferences have already formed. Since we are in Spain, we mainly ordered seafood: mussels, squids, fish soups, local dishes: cold gazpacho soup, sangria a local drink, avocado salads with shrimp are very tasty, and of course pizza, it is at every turn , but not always tasty. On average, for lunch it took us 30-35 euros for two with drinks. Dishes are served in large portions.
The beach is 10 minutes from the hotel, if you leave the hotel and go to the left, it will be shorter. The sea is clean and beautiful, but cold and big wave, it is difficult to swim. A good place, we liked it, a week was enough for us to get our portion of emotions. In my opinion, you need to go to Barcelona separately for a week in order to have time to see everything.
