Lloret de Mar - Lovers Locks

 It seems that we now have the 'lovers lock' custom taking place in Lloret de Mar. Its said that if a couple fasten a lock on which they have etched or marked with their initials then throw the key into the water as a sign of their love for each other then they will one day return to the place of their lock. The custom is seen in many  cities around the world but where this custom started I dont know! The locks pictured here can be seen fastened to the chain by the Dona Marinera statue in Lloret, at the moment there are just a few so lets see how many are placed there over the coming months!

I have seen these in Benidorm before but noticed in November that they had been removed. Rumour has it that they are in storage while 'the powers that be' debate whether to sell them for scrap.
