The Museu del Mar offers a journey through the history of Lloret de Mar and its close relationship with the sea. It is located in Can Garriga, a 19th century Indian house with three floors that is accessible for people with reduced mobility.
The museum is located next to the Tourist Office and is divided into various thematic groups such as trade, travel, and experiences related to the maritime environment. The first group, called Fills del Mar, covers four historical stages of Lloret de Mar: the Iberian occupation, the Greco-Roman period, the Middle Ages, and the era of cabotage and deep-sea navigation. Mare Nostrum is dedicated to the construction of ships and features various scale models. The Gates of the Ocean: Sailing Around the World explores maritime trade routes to distant lands.
The next group, Lloret after the Sailboats, examines the period of crisis that followed the decline in maritime activity after 1860 due to the expansion of steamships. Finally, the Més enllà de la Platja exhibition group showcases other heritage elements of the town, such as Iberian archaeological sites, the neoclassical gardens of Santa Clotilde, and the medieval castle of Sant Joan.

The Lloret de Mar cemetery preserves an important Indian legacy, but please note that it is NOT accessible to people with reduced mobility. The cemetery was established in 1891, when the location was chosen and the architect Joaquim Artau i Fàbregas was commissioned to design it.
The project was funded by private initiatives, particularly by families closely related to overseas trade and directly linked to the Barcelona bourgeoisie. Renowned architects such as J. Puig i Cadafalch also contributed to the project. The cemetery is organized according to social hierarchy, with the tombs of the private patrons (the "indianos") located on the main avenue. To the right and left of the main avenue are the second and third category hypogea. There is also an area for civil burials and another for unbaptized individuals.
The historical monuments of the cemetery have recently been marked with multilingual explanatory panels.

Both the train and the buses have seating accommodations for people with reduced mobility, and Blanes station has lifts and access ramps for people with reduced mobility. However, we recommend checking the accessibility details at each station, as not all stations are fully adapted for people with reduced mobility. In this case, Blanes station is fully accessible

Neighborhoods / Areas
Lloret de los Indianos:
Every June, the city of Lloret de Mar celebrates the "Indianos" party to remember the residents who went to make their fortune in the Americas during the first half of the 19th century. Some of them returned or contributed from a distance to the urban transformation of Lloret de Mar, building large mansions and other structures for the city with the help of some of the best architects of the time.
The Indian legacy has been preserved to this day, and you can take an interesting tour to see many of their contributions to the city, including the Casa Garriga, the Paseo de Jacint Verdaguer, the Town Hall, the church of Sant Romà, the modernist cemetery, and many other buildings.
There is an itinerary designed to be accessible in a wheelchair, which ends at Sa Caleta where there is a plaque in memory of the Indians who were not as fortunate. Please note that not all of the buildings mentioned are fully accessible for people with reduced mobility. We recommend visiting the central tourist office to obtain information on which buildings are accessible.
