The Garriga House, constructed in 1887, belonged to a well known Lloret family that had emigrate to Cuba. Confirming all of this, mention is made in the 1716 census of a Cristina Garriga, a widow, head of a family, about 48 years old with a 14 years old soon and a 16 years old daughter. The document states, "She is poor through her husband being slaved". In contrast with this situation, the Garrigas of fifty years later, thanks to their work in America, have a different economic power and become one of the most distinguished families in the community.

The construction of the Garriga House, previously mentioned, bears this out. Thus, a promenade where palm trees would later be planted occupies the space between this house and the town hall. This, along with the fact that the majority of the building long the front maintain a truly colonial air, was to give this urbanistic sector of Lloret a very evocative West Indian look. Behind the Town Hall at one end and the Garriga House at the other, alongside the land adjacent to the beach there was a reparcelling into plots at the end of the last century. The resultant plots were sold to buyers who happened to be repatriated Indianos or Americanos and who built new homes on them.

The tourist "boom" in Lloret, brought about unprecedented urbanistic change whereby almost all of the Americano stately homes disappeared, victims of speculation. The Garriga House, together with some others, are today the few exceptions. Is a clear and magnigicient example of an era which, after all, is still deeply rooted in the autochtonous population of Lloret.
