On the beach!

It seems that summer has made an early appearance in Lloret de Mar this year, although saying that we haven't really had too bad a winter. Yesterday was a perfect day for the beach, we had a walk over to Boadella beach and were surprised to see how many had made the same decision. Boadella is a naturist beach and plenty were baring all yesterday but there were also several families there to enjoy the 22ºc temperature! I was pleased to see that Boadella has escaped the batting from the rough seas that has caused all the damage to Lloret and Fenals beaches.

 Keeping the beach clean, these little trucks empty the bins and gather any rubbish.

Would you believe the difference in the weather now to how it was at the same time back in 2010 when the snowfall of March 8th caused thousands of homes to be without power for 5-6 days, see the photos below.

Shopping in Lloret

 There were some great bargains to be found with the last of the sales goods in Lloret today, many of the shops had clothing items for as little €5. One rail I saw had some lovely winter coats on sale for only €25...and for the summer months they had bikinis for only €5!

 Brightly coloured Pashminas were on sale at this stall for a fraction of the normal cost, hopefully we wont be needing them in Lloret until next winter but well worth buying now and putting away till then.

 Bouncy castle to keep the kids happy, while mum goes shopping!
