Xiringuito Canyelles

The last big cove ('cala') in Lloret de Mar before you get into Tossa de Mar terriority is also one of the most chic beaches in the town, and the 'xiringuito' (beach bar) that opens there in the summer more than rises to the standard of its surrounds. A small port full of leisure and pleasure boats sets the atmosphere, and the large houses that surround the beach (owned in large part by Russians) have raised the caché of this mini Saint-Tropez even further. In the port you'll find a limited range of places to eat that are open year-round, and it's from Sant Joan (Jun 23) that this particular beach bar opens. They excel in fresh salads, smoothies and fruit juices. As could be expected in a place full of beautiful people, they also make excellent café frappés.
