There are worse ways to start a beach day than shaking off the jet lag to a thumping playlist with the sea right there in front of you. All summer long there's a free, open-air Zumba session each morning on the sand, and you just turn up. The first runs on Lloret beach, over by the sports zone near Roca d'en Maig; a later one follows along the coast on Fenals beach, by the Parc de la Salut. No sign-up, no fee, no need to know the steps.

Wear something you can sweat in, bring water and a towel, and don't fret if you've two left feet. The instructor calls the moves, everyone's facing the same way, and half the regulars are clearly winging it too. It runs daily through to mid-September, so there's no rush to catch a particular date.
