Two Single Gay boys US to Barcelona to lloret de mar then Paris

What shuttles or limo services do they have from BCN to lloret de mar staying near Olympic Grand looking for good rates on limo service- then on to Paris. any suggestions.
We will be spending 1 wk in lloret de mar then on to Paris. We would like to travel around a bit - any suggestions ? We love to have a good time - fun night life need club suggestions welcomed! shopping bargains ? sights ? We are flying from Los Angeles to Barcelona - I believe it would be best for us to take a cab or shuttle from the airport to lloret de mar ? Would really appreciate all suggestions - Thanks to all in advance....
PS: Can we use credit - ATM or cash?

Hmm.. any specific reason you guys do NOT want to stay in Sitges? True, Lloret is a (low-) budget location, but the real fun is either in BCN or in Sitges.

Sitges is 40min by train, south of BCN. Opposite direction from BCN as Lloret. Probably too much hassle for a day or night trip.

If you want to check out the bars and clubs in Barcelona, take the bus, and return back to Lloret with the first bus next morning around 6am.
The usual nightly schedule would be:
(Dinner around 11pm)
Bars 12am-2/3am
Clubs 2/3am-?
Most relevant places are in the Western part of the Eixample district. That's near the Universitat metro station or around 6 or 7 Euros by taxi from where the bus will terminate in BCN.
You will find a pretty overview of what to expect here:

Obtain the preceding website by leaving out the day-by-day component. I accessed it by deleting what I'd previously written.

When are you guys going? Time of the year is a huge factor as far as recs for sightseeing. As far as money transactions, get to BCN with at least 50 Euros in your pocket. From then on try to use your credit cards as much you can get away with. The reason being that your bank CC will get you a much better exchange rate than if you were to pay with Euro cash. ATMs everywhere. Call your bank before you leave and notify them that you will be making overseas charges. This will prevent your acccount from getting flagged and temporarily unavailable (ouch! ) BTW, if the merchant ask you if you want the charge to be in dollars or Euros tell them you want the charge in Euros. Check your invoices, make sure they do.

You are going to LOVE Barcelona. Do not miss Parc Guell! Spaniards party like no other European country, so pace yourselves!! Have fun! Be safe!
