Lloret de Mar Events

Good news for all bikers in the area...

'Harley Butts' are returning to Lloret de Mar for another action packed week end, last year was the 1st time in town for this event and proved to be a massive success!

The official dates are Fri 11th - Sunday 13th June but I'm sure we'll see many of the custom built bikes making their way into town well before!

Tour Around Lloret de Mar

The new open top tour bus for Lloret is an ideal way to see the most interesting sights in town. This is a hop-on hop-off service, prices start from as low as €4.25 for a one stop trip or upto as much as €25 for a 3 day pass which can also include boat ride, bus and entrance fees to the gardens in Blanes.

Lloret de Mar - Promenade Bars

It used to be that the bars which line the promenade in front of the town hall were just about the dearest in town!
How things have changed now though, you can get coffee and cake for €2.50. One of the bars is serving 1 litre of Sangria with 5 tapas for only €7. Low prices like this were unheard of at these bars, so maybe we'll see the seats at these places filling up again!

Childrens Deaths in Lloret de Mar

After the tragic news of the death of 2 two young children in a room at the Miramar Hotel on Tuesday 18th in Lloret, the news agencies and TV cameras are still in place in front of the town hall on the seafront near the hotel. News of this awful crime is emerging all the time so it looks as though they will be there for quite a while yet.

Lloret de Mar Market Day

Tuesday morning is market day in Lloret, and with the good weather this morning it gave the teachers of the local infants school a good opportunity to get the kids out of the classroom and take them out to learn all names of the different vegetables for sale on the stalls!

Loret de Mar Weather Today

At last it looks as though we may have a few continuous days of sunny weather this week! As you can see from the photos here taken today, there's not a cloud in sight!
The local forecast this morning has predicted that the temperatures will continue to rise as the week goes on with no sign of rain at all.......about time !!

Spanish Airports Closed

 

The volcanic ash cloud which has recently brought havoc to the travel plans of thousands is today causing many airports in Northern Spain to close. Girona airport will be closed from 13.00 until midnight tonight with the possibility of Barcelona closing later today.

A list of airports affected can be found here on the Ryanair website.

Lloret de Mar - Cala Banys

Walking through the woods above the rocks at Cala Banys between Lloret and Fenals you can see all kinds of birds. This photo of a Jay was taken there only last week. We have seen red squirrels up there but they are too quick for us to get a photo....may be one day we'll catch them unawares!
