Everything ready for a weekend full of fun and tradition with the commemoration of Lloret de Mar as XX Vila Gegantera, a meeting of Giants. A special occasion to get to know the town with Nais and Miss Ling, hosts of the meeting and giants very loved by the town of Lloret.
For those of you who do not know the legend of Nais y Miss Ling It is necessary to take a trip back in time to discover how a young sailor from Lloret de Mar conquered a pretty foreigner who loved adventure, enchanted by the beauty of the beaches of Lloret de Mar and, as its history demonstrates, undoubtedly also of the men of the sea. And this attraction towards our town and its people was so strong, that he decided to stay forever!
We have a few full days ahead of us: parades, cultural guided tours, exhibitions, activities for the little ones, habanera competitions, but above all an event with more than 100 giants, gigantones, big heads and their respective giant groups and musical bands. Such a unique encounter deserves a special memory and this is how we celebrate this day with the incorporation of a big-headed dance in the middle of the festival concert. It will undoubtedly be impressive to see these great figures dance to the sound of the music of the different accompanying groups.
