Lloret de Mar Shops.

Yesterday in Lloret centre there was a really good atmosphere.
It is officially the end of the sale time for the local shops, so they are allowed to bring all the last of their sale goods out on to the streets. This in turn brings a lot of people into town.
There was also a couple of bouncy castles for the kids and music could be heard all over town.
It was just as though the holiday season had come early!
Items on sale ranged from ski's, clothing and toiletries to even the butchers selling their meats and cheeses!
So what ever you were looking for, there were bargains for everone.

Lloret de Mar Carnival

Next weekend is Carnival Weekend. The people of Lloret go to an awful lot of trouble and expense at carnival time, a procession is held on Saturday afternoon and repeated on Sunday morning. Saturday night is party time and the bars and discoteques expect to get a good turn out.
All ages young and old will take part in the procession, in extravagent costumes and floats decked out in fantastic scenes and backgrounds.

Unfortunately the weather always seems to take a turn for the worse at carnival time- and the procession ends up being a rather soggy affair.

The above photos were taken from the Lloret de Mar Carnival in 2003, on one occasion when it did not rain.
