Castellers in Lloret

For the first time ever I got chance to see the Castellers yesterday, they were in Lloret taking part in the Independence rally outside the Town Hall. Those who take part in building the human towers wear a special kind of clothing usually consisting of white trousers and a coloured shirt representing the team and region they are from. Around their middle they have a wide tightly bound sash this is to help those climbing up to gain a better grip and it also gives extra support to their backs.
Castellers is a Catalan tradition and can often be seen at events in towns and villages, but for the people in Lloret this weekend however we didnt have to travel too far to see this amazing event!

Clon Festival 2015

A new date has been set for the Clon Festival U2 tribute band.

Owing to it been cancelled by the bad weather on the scheduled date of 14th August, it will now take place on the 30th August...same time - same place!

Shopping in Lloret

This coming Sunday 23rd August the stores will once again be having their end of summer season sale starting at 10am until 11pm. Stores will have the last of their sale items out on stalls in the streets.....so it's a good chance to get yourselves a few bargains!

Lloret August Weather

Yesterdays photos taken along the beach in Lloret show that the weather has changed from the sunny blue skies that seem to have been here all summer we now have dull and cloudy weather...although its still very hot and humid. The weather is forecast to be more unsettled for the coming few days with rain and thunder storms said to be on way!

Lloret de Mar - Clon Festival 2015

The last of this years Clon Festival act will be on stage this coming Friday 14th August down by the beach...they are 'Please' a U2 tribute band. We have previously seen a U2 tribute act (Achtung Baby) back in 2011 and they were excellent...hopefully 'Please' will be equally as good!

Out & about in Lloret

Just recently in Lloret the weather has been a little cooler than the harsh temperatures we had last month. Today as the pictures show we once again had a beautiful clear sunny day with a slightly cooler 32c and a lovely light breeze making the day so much more bearable!
