Lloret de Mar
Lloret de Mar is a resort town on the Costa Brava in Girona province, with forty-three thousand residents. Its layout is unusual: besides the centre, thirty-nine housing estates and villa districts are scattered around it, many of them second homes. The town is therefore spread out, and getting from one edge to the other without a car does not work.
Lloret is known for mass summer tourism, and that shapes everything else. In winter most of what works in season is shut: our winter score for it is among the lowest on the mainland. Nearly forty per cent of residents are foreign, more than in the neighbouring towns. The hospital is fifteen minutes away and Girona airport an hour. Anyone thinking of living here should come in February. In August the town looks like a completely different place.
- Girona · 40 km — a real city with a station and a hospital
- Tossa de Mar · 12 km — the fortress above the bay and the cliff road
- Blanes · 8 km — the botanical gardens and the market
Lloret de Mar sits in Costa Brava, Girona, right on the water. From November to March the town empties out: our rating is 2 out of 5. A resort in summer, shuttered bars and thin transport in winter. 38.5% of residents are foreign nationals per the census: Spanish is not the only language you will hear on the street. Summers are packed: tourist load hits 5 out of 5 at the peak against 1 in winter.

What tenants actually pay
sourcedThis is the median rent on active leases — tax records for 2024, a sample of 2 819 leases. It includes long-standing contracts at unchanged rents, so it sits below what is asked today: our estimate of asking rent is 900 € for a two-bedroom.
The point of the 75th percentile: it is closer to what is being signed now than the median. The gap between them shows how much a new tenant overpays relative to long-standing ones.

Rent by number of bedrooms

| 2 bedrooms | 900 €/mo | |

| Median of active leases, 2024 | 517 €/mo | SERPAVI · 63 m² |
Asking prices are what long lets are advertised at today; the registry is what tenants pay on signed leases, including old ones. The gap between them is your negotiating argument.

Renting without a Spanish contract
How realistic a long lease is without a nómina — on foreign income, savings or prepayment.
- —38.5% foreign residents — income from abroad is routine for landlords here
- —A community with its own services: agencies have dealt with foreigners before
- —Stock goes to tourist lets: long leases are scarce and competed for
This is our model, not a measurement: demanding a nómina is an individual landlord's practice and nobody publishes it. The rating is derived from the share of foreign residents, the presence of a community with services, price growth, seasonality of the stock and the size of the town.
