Lloret de Mar
Brash, tourist-magnet resort that's everything you've heard about it — yet underneath its beach-driven commercialism and gaudy nightlife is a centuries-old town with real hidden history.

Worth the trip

Numbers: SpainScore town dataset, derived from INE, AEMET, Mitma and the Catastro. Percentile chips count only the municipalities that report the figure — the "of n" says how many. Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
