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

However, lovers of good food should take special note of two gastronomic events that are held every year in Lloret: the Rice Festival and the "Cuina de l'Art" Festival.

Town Hall, 1868-1872

The Town Hall was constructed according to plans drawn up by architect Féliz de Azúa, who conceived a magnificient building in the Neo-Classical style holding on its façades the town´s coat of arma with the symbolic laurel tree and featuring an impressive wrought-iron belfry. The budget for this work was totalled 49,915 pesetas, four times the town´s budget for that year.
To place the Town Hall close to the seafront meant a complete reorganising of Lloret, for it determined the subsequent alignment of splanades and buildings.

The Town Hall stands on one side of the Plaça de la Vila, starting point of Passeig Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer running paralel to the beach front. The promenade is flanked on both sides by lines of majestic pal-trees, beneath which visitors soak up the sun and have a drink at the pavement cafés.
