Things to do in Lloret Night





There is not so much to do at night in Lloret during the winter, however it is not a total loss. One of the cheaper Lloret bars during the winter is the Bar Barretina which is situated in the Calle Areny, in the old part of Lloret.

The Barretina is the second oldest bodega in Lloret. Before being converted to a bar in the early sixties by the wily owner, Maria Maso, it was a stable. Very little has changed in the Barretina since the early days, including the local customers. The Barretina is now run by Fiona, who has been in the bar since 1999.

A bottle of beer is just 1,30 euros, and a glass of fine champagne goes at just 1,10 euros at the time of writing.

The bar boosts a blind fruit machine player, a client who spends hours speaking to himself on his own mobile phone, and lots of long term customers with big lumps- not to mention liquer in the barrels that has been there for the last 40 years! Potent stuff.

Fiona also sells litre drinks- a litre of Tequila Sunrise goes for around just 7 euros.

The Weather in Lloret de Mar.

At last it's stopped raining!
We had four day's of heavy rain down here on the coast, (not for getting the snow inland) but this picture was taken today 1st Feb, as you can see the sun is shining again!
Temperatures are rising again and feeling quite warm in the sun. Just nice for taking a stroll on Lloret promenade, (we even ate breakfast out on the balcony this morning!!)
How long will it last though?
Winter is not over yet until the end of February at least!. Posted by Picasa
