Lloret de Mar - Events.


This week- end (25th - 26th Nov) Lloret de Mar steps back in time to the Medieval age!
The event is centered near the church and surrounding streets. Things to be seen are stalls making and selling all kinds of products from clothing and jewellery to toys and soaps.




The stall holders are all dressed in medieval style clothing, and as the photos show they are all demonstrating their various skills...


To give the narrow streets an authentic olden age look they have been covered in straw, and there's also goats, sheep, and brightly coloured cockrels in wooden pens.
This event only happens in Lloret once a year (November)...If you can manage to fight your way through the crowds, it is a really unusual sight which can be enjoyed by all age groups.

Costa Brava - Cheap Holidays


Fancy a cheap holiday on the Costa Brava?? With temperatures still approx 21c - 22c here in Lloret you could get a nice suntan before Christmas.


Prices for hotels and aptartments are very low just now. For example.....
7 nights half board in the Samba (26th Nov - 3rd Dec) £213 is the cost for 2 people.
7 nights all inclusive in Guitart Central Park again for 2 people will only cost £305
7 nights self catering in a 1 bedroomed apt in the Almirall Hotel is the cheapest option at £127, although its the cheapest it it very well situated right opposite the beach in Lloret de Mar. So with prices like these its the ideal time for a bit of sun and you can also stock up on your Christmas booze and cigs!  Posted by Picasa
