Fair do's I suppose.

All I can suggest then is that you stay a bit further south: Blanes, Malgrat, Santa Susanna, etc. The coast train comes up from Barcelona but turns inland at Blanes so Lloret isn't serviced. You have to leave the train at Blanes then get a bus. I've never checked (cos I like driving over there) but I guess you'd have an easier time with trains if you're staying at one of the resorts with a railway station. The coast resorts all pretty much the same anyway.

I do know you can get a coast train from any resort south of Blanes into Barcelona and then an intercity up to Perpignan. No idea about timings though.

Of course the best way is to convince enough other fans to use Lloret so that it's worth CST putting a bus on.

On this thread it seems that everything someone has suggested you've rejected so why dont you do a bit of research yourself?

Yes we could do, but I still wouldnt know how to get to the game.

Problem is, I dont want to hire a car, cant speak Spanish OR French !

We have done a fair bit of travelling and used public transport a lot, but this time we will have an 11 year old in tow, so were looking for ease rather than an adventure !

There's a regular local train from Argeles or Coulior to Perps (or a bus from Canet sur Plage - cheap and cheerful but next door to Perpignan) and Foti runs a bus from the centre of town (Le Castellet) to the ground.

If there's not a bunch of you stopping in Lloret, I'd definitely look at one of the French Coastal towns as more practical.

Look pal, if you dont like my posts, then dont read them. Do you come on internet forums looking for trouble ?

For your information, I have been looking into this long and hard, for a long time.

We arent all internet heroes like you.

I apologise for being a twat. People calling Catalan Les Cats annoys me that's all.

OK fair enough, apology accepted.

For my part I will refrain from being lazy and address them correctly.

avoid lloret like the plague. it's a hole!
fly to girona and you can get the train stright to perpignan from girona city. girona itself is lovely and well worth a visit for a couple of days.
