Lloret de Mar's parish church.

The church of Sant Roma in Lloret de Mar as seen after recent modernization. This part is now finished but work is still being carried out on other parts not seen in the photo.
It is said that back in 1522 when the building of the church was completed it had cost a total of 3,000 pounds. At that time the people of Lloret did not live by the coast, but out in the remote villages where they felt less threatened by attacks from 'pirates' who regularly attacked the Spanish coasts.
So now with the new church, and St Joans Tower (seen on 17th January post) which they felt gave them the added shelter and protection they needed, the people slowly began to make they homes nearer to the coast.

Weather in Costa Brava

At the moment we are experiencing some appalling weather conditions in the Lloret de Mar area. Temperatures are currently hovering around zero, and the outerlying urbanisations of Lloret were hit by heavy snowfalls last night. Aguaviva Parc was without electricity all night leaving some homes without heat.

The picture above was taken at midday today at the entrance to Mont Lloret urbanization which is at the back of Lloret Blau.
Roll on Summer.
