Santa Cristina Fiesta

To celebrate the coming Santa Cristina fiesta there will be a competition which all Lloret residents can take part in. The idea is that residents should decorate their balconies in any way they choose and prizes will be awarded for the best 3..the more colouful and elaborate the better! Those interested should contact the Associacio de Veins del Antic before 17th July and balconies  should be decorated between the dates of 23rd -26th July. Here is one example but I'm sure there will be lots more out there when it gets round to judging time.
