Feria Medieval Lloret de Mar 2011

Ferias y Muestras
12/11/2011 - 13/11/2011
Buenos días,

Lloret de Mar es el centro clave del turismo de la Costa Brava.

Pero Lloret no pierde sus raíces, el recuerdo de los primeros ciudadanos que poblaron el lugar tan cercano a la costa, ahora hace 1000 años.

Vivían del trabajo de la tierra y el pescado que con penas y angustias sacaban de la mar.

Aquí nació un pequeño nucleo de casas, cerca del mar, aquí llevaban los primeros artesanos con sus oficios, aquí la vida arreló con fuerza.

Ahora caminar por las calles estrechas del núcleo antiguo de Lloret de Mar, es como pasar a traves del túnel del tiempo.

Llegan al s. XI, en dia de feria, un tumulto de gente, artesanos trabajan en la calle, todos los gremios, llegan de fuera el treatro, la musica, los faquires, el fuego, los malabares, es dia de feria, el mercado no se detiene paradas y más paradas.

Disfrutémoslo.
Venir sábado y domingo y participar en :
- Demostraciones de oficios:

• Picapedrero
• Botero
• Forja
• Y mucho más

- Pasacalles, treatros y espectáculos en la calle.
- Tiro con arco

Monument to the Sailor´s Wife

Since it was erected in 1966 to commemorate Lloret de Mar´s Millenium, the Dona Marinera (Fisherman´s Wife) has become one of the most emblematic symbols of the town.
This bronze sculpture, created by the artist, Ernest Maragall, stands on the rock at the end of Lloret beach and represents the figure of a woman looking out to the sea in greeting or welcome.
It is a tribute to those women of the seafaring times who were often left in charge of the household while their husbands were looking for fortune at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Legend has it that whoever touches the foot of the sculpture while looking out at the horizon, will have their wish come true.

Maritime Museum of Lloret, Can Garriga (1887)

A trip to the town´s past.
The Maritime Museum, wich is located in the Casa Garriga, is the entranceway to the Lloret Open Museum. It is strategically located in the centre of town, accupying an old "Indiano" house on the seaside boulevard. The centre summarises all of the elements the make up the heritage of Lloret de Mar, using the sea as the common thread or guiding principle. The museum focuses on the landscape, the archaelogical heritage, the history, and the physical and human landscape.
Just as the City Hall, built in 1872, closed off Verdaguer street to the west, the façade of one of the Garriga houses closed it off to the east, giving this area a very pronunced character.
This will entail considerable effort on Lloret´s part but one within its reach to preserve a building which, like so few others, bears witness to the splendorous past the 1800s naval period, since Garriga houses are directly related to Lloret´s colonial past.
The emblematic Garriga Houses will become the Tourism Office and the Museu of the Sea. Thanks to the new museum based techniques and the inclusion of educational and entertaining features, visitors to the Maritime Museum can partake in the authentic trip through the history of Lloret and its links to the sea. This exhibition centre have 5 essential parts of interpretation of the history of lloret de Mar; The son´s of Lloret, Mare Nostrum, Sailing around the world, Lloret maritime ancestor´s and the sea: Lloret looks to the futue.

Lloret Open Museum

A museum without walls !!!
The Lloret Open Museum (MOLL) is an imaginary network that allows you to discover various places of historic, cultural and natural interest. It is an open space, without walls, that covers different locations throughout the territory and allows you to find out about the town´s heritage.
The idea of an open museum in the fresh air is to offer direct contact with the heritage, so that visitors feel like participants and not simple observers.
Besides, the items to visit have easily accessible panels displaying information.
