The award, presented in Reus during the 15th edition of the awards ceremony, confirms the distinction the municipality has held since 2017. This recognition values Lloret's diverse and high-quality plant heritage, the continuous enhancement of its green areas, such as the Santa Clotilde Gardens, and the efficient use of resources like reclaimed water in its irrigation systems.
The Councilor for Parks and Gardens, Cristina Aymerich, emphasized that the award reflects a working philosophy aimed at making Lloret a greener, more sustainable municipality, better prepared to face current environmental challenges. For years, the City Council has promoted the renovation of public spaces with a focus on accessibility, sustainability, and climate change adaptation.
Recent initiatives include the creation of a new small square in Sa Caleta, repurposing part of a motorcycle parking area, and the implementation of reclaimed water irrigation in the promenade of Ferran Agulló, in Fenals. This measure, designed to reduce potable water consumption, will be extended to other areas. Tree planting has also been renewed along several avenues, and the second phase of the Turó d’en Buc adaptation, with new ornamental gardens, is planned.
Aymerich highlighted the importance of finding ways to minimize potable water consumption, considering it one of the primary current challenges. The Viles Florides movement has seen significant growth, recognizing municipalities committed to improving green spaces and public areas.
