Lloret de Mar in December


December 3rd and its a surprisingly warm day today, in Fenals the temperature is reading 17ºc but feels much warmer. There's a few people out enjoying the better weather which is forecast for the next 3-4 days, but just look at those waves...the sea is much rougher today!

Tirada a l'Art - Lloret 2013


 What a beautiful start to the day it was this morning for the Tirada a l'Art fishing. Everyone taking part were down on the beach for 8am, by which time the fishing boat had already been out at sea for quite some time casting the net. 

Keeping warm near the fire till they started the hard work of pulling in the net.

Just as the sun was rising the nets were ready to be pulled in.

Two lines are formed by those who take part and as the net gets closer to the beach they move closer together until they meet and all the fish are ashore.
 
It takes about one hour of pulling and tugging...but this morning as you can see here it was well worth the effort!


 
And now its time for breakfast!
