Sant Joan Tower Lloret

As you look from the beach of Lloret towards Fenals you will see the tall round tower of Sant Joan perched on the cliffs. So if you ever feel like an energetic walk to reach it you have lovely views of all the local coastline. Here is a short video taken from the top of Sant Joan Tower when we visited this weekend...but we are very lucky that we live quite nearby so its more of a leisurely stroll for us!

Lloret de Mar Fireworks 2013

Instead of going over to watch the annual fireworks display from the beach as we usually do, we had the idea of trying to see them from a distance and found a very good spot in between Lloret and Fenals. No photos this time as they do tend to all look the same after taking them year after year, but here's something a little different - 2 videos of the full 20 minute display but all crammed into less than 2 minutes!

Lloret de Mar - Sant Antoni 2013



The Sant Antoni horse parade took place in Lloret today, this is an annual event where we see the horses and riders from the local 'Club Hipic' The day started very early at the club for those taking part in todays parade as they first have to ensure that their horses are looking their very best before they set of on their journey to Lloret from the club on the edge of town. As they make their way through the narrow streets they pass by the church where all the horses are blessed after which they then parade 3 times around the streets by the Town Hall.

Sant Roma Festival


One of this weeks events for Sant Roma festival was yesterdays show for some of the dogs which are available for adoption.

Many of the local people were there with their own dogs, some of which they entered into the obedience event....very funny at times!

Lloret de Mar - Fenals Beach Today.



Here's a short clip of photos we took today down on the beach in Fenals and from above in the woods.
As you can see its quite packed, but still the bars and hotels in town are not very busy, some businesses are having their worst year yet.
So its highly likely that a large percentage of the people on the beach today are locals who have their own property in and around Lloret and like to spend their week- ends on the beach.

Fireworks In Lloret de Mar


Last night we went over to Lloret to see the fireworks display, which is held on the beach every year as part of the Santa Cristina Festival. The show lasted 20 mins and was bigger and better than ever!! Last night we were surprised that the display was accompanied by music, to which the fireworks seemed to dance about in the sky to!
We were watching from the cliff tops just above the beach and had a very good view. From there we could see what must have been thousands and thousands of people on the beach, roads and all around us. The road between Fenals and Lloret were completely blocked by cars and mopeds.
Here are the photos from last night put to a slide show with our own choice of music...hope you enjoy it !

Fireworks in Blanes.

This week in Blanes is the annual Fireworks Competition, with a different team taking part each night. These teams come from all over the world to compete.

Thousands of people gather to watch from all the best viewing points all over Blanes, so many in fact that the roads in and out are completely blocked.

The show starts at 10.30pm and last for about 30 mins. The local boat company's who run the daily resort trips, do special excursions to see the displays from out at sea.

Even in Lloret people can watch the display, even though it is a few kilometers down the road to Blanes. We went down to our local beach in Fenals from where we can see the coast at Blanes, and had quite a good view!

This slide show is the result of what we saw

Lloret de Mar - Watersports

After the heavy downpours we have been subject to during the last few weeks, it now looks as though the summer beach activities are back in business.

Both Lloret and Fenals water sports centres are up and running for the season. Here is a short slide show showing them at work !

Lloret de Mar - April- May


Here are the latest views of Lloret de Mar, taken during the last couple of months. The weather has still not settled down to what should be by now sunny almost everyday.
We are still having a lot of rain for some part of the day, but at least it is warm with no need for the heating on at home.
