The legal minimum age for entry into bars/clubs and buying alcohol in Spain is 18.
You will however find it's not strictly enforced and the younger of you should be ok unless you look particularly young or attract the attention of door staff for some reason.
It was the month of April when I went to Lloret de Mar and I have to say the weather wasn't brilliant. So much so on the night we flew home it was actually warmer in Manchester. Lloret de Mar is well up north in Spain and March is still early in the year so my advice would be to at least pack something for slightly cooler weather. At least some jeans and long sleaved stuff. Fingers crossed you won't need it though.
18
Legally, the age is 18. But in europe, they are very liberal and won't care if you drink or not as long as you aren't 12 or 13 or something like that. I remember getting beers in Spain when I was 15 and getting hard liqour in Italy when I was 15 as well
My dad lives in Barcelona and I have been there several times. The drinking are is 18 and at clubs they will ask for you pass port. There are people who walk around on the beach and sell beer. They will not card you. Also small outdoor bars might not. They are way more lax about it over there.
The weather in March is likely to be quite cold but if you are lucky it will be sunny, you definitely won't need your swimming cossie.
The legal age for drinking is 18 but unlike in the UK you are very unlikely to be asked for ID even for entry to clubs.
