Lloret de Mar - Hardy Butts 2011 (Harley Davidson)

Harley Davidson Bikes event in Lloret this year was bigger and better than previous years, just as they said it would be! It was all centered around the Casino, inside as well as out!

 There was a huge display of custom bikes of every shape, size, and colour inside one of the exhibition halls. We got loads of photos so watch out for them tomorrow!

Figueres - Birthplace of Dali

Dali's Theatre

Just a short journey up the coast from Lloret de Mar is the town of Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dali. If you have the use of a car then its easily reached in about 1 hour or so but by public transport you would first have to make your way to Girona then travel by either bus or train from there. Whichever way this is a day not to be missed! All the main sights are situated close to the town centre so are easily reached on foot, also there are lots of cafes, and restaurants where you can take a break from the busy little streets and shops, many of which sell gifts and souvenirs based on the art works of Dali.

St Peter's Church

The town of Figueres itself is a photographers paradise but beware if you go into the museum, you are not allowed to take any photos without first applying for permission! Visit the official web site here....Dali Museum.

Lloret de Mar - Boadella Beach

After nearly a week of very unsettled weather in Lloret it now seems to be getting back to normal. We woke this morning to blue sky and a just a few light clouds, there was another storm last night which we hope has now cleared the air...so time to get out the camera for some more photos!

These photos were taken at approximately 11 am this morning and show three views of Boadella beach which is easily reached with a 30-40 minutes walk through the woods from Lloret or Fenals. In the bottom photo you can see the Santa Clotilde gardens on the cliff tops above the beach, this is a great place to visit to get some stunning shots of the coast....something a lot of people don't associate with Lloret de Mar!

Lloret de Mar Supermarkets

If you are visiting Lloret de Mar for the first time then you may be wondering which are the best supermarkets in which to do the bulk of your shopping and where are they! If your staying in an apartment and intend to make quite a few of your meals indoors rather than eat out then its always worth trying to find out where the locals do their shopping and where to get the best value for money.
I have put together a list and map of what I and most of the local residents in Lloret  consider to be the most popular supermarkets in Lloret complete with a few details about each one. Just click on the image below to take you on a tour of Llorets supermarkets!
