Description | Located 3.5 km from the centre of Lloret. The earliest reference to it dates back to 1376. The current temple, built at the end of the XVIII century, is neo-classical with an extraordinary marble altar made in Italy and an interesting collection of votive offerings and miniature ships. Under the "hundred year old pine tree" during the Fiesta Mayor (Festival of Santa Cristina on the 24th of July), all the fishermen hold their lunch of brotherhood where the typical dish estofat is served. Santa Cristina has its own personality. The work was paid for by the residents of Lloret, some contributing significant sums, while the fishing employers contributed a large part of their profits. Even those whose poverty prevented them from contributing to the work with money collaborated by helping with the work on holidays. The meeting point for all these townspeople was the Church Square; from there they would walk to Santa Cristina de Vall-Arnau where they would hear mass in the old hermitage which stood inside the confines of the hermitage under construction, since it was not permitted that the old hermitage be destroyed until the new one had been built.
