Saint Christine, patron saint of Lloret de Mar<\/h2>\n

The earliest signs of the Hermitage date back to 1376. At the end of the 18th<\/sup> century, a neoclassical-style temple was built with the financial and material assistance of the town\u2019s sailors and boat builders. Its main altar, made from marble, was constructed in Italy. It is worth a visit just for the lovely collection ex-voto of miniature boats<\/strong> offered by pilgrims!<\/p>\n

If you happen to be on holiday in Lloret de Mar in July,<\/strong> come to Santa Cristina on the 24th. It is when the town celebrates the Festa Major<\/strong>. Along with the festival atmosphere, you can watch a procession that walks up to the Hermitage from the seafront.<\/p>\n
