Lloret de Mar in January

Now that the Christmas and New Year festivities are over we will all be looking forward to when the summer season begins once again - but there's no need to wait for the summer sun especially if you have just a few days holiday you need to take from work early this year. Today we were by the beach in Lloret and although it looked very cold as we looked out this morning it was a surprisingly very mild 17ºc walking along the seafront.
