Lloret de Mar Beaches award

Once again the beaches of Lloret have been awarded the Blue Flag, with the exception of one- Cala Canyelles, only reason is that the area is a licensed port and cars can be parked on the beach. The council will in the near future try to rectify these problems.
All along the Catalan coast 89 beaches have the Blue flag this year with 28 of these awarded to the Girona coast. The Blue Flag is an International standard awarded for the quality of the sea, maintenance of the facilities and necessary equipment for safety etc.

Lloret Beach by night.

A day at Empuriabrava.

 About a I hour and 30minute drive up the coast from Lloret is the upmarket resort of Empuriabrava situated in the bay of Roses - a totally different resort to any other on the Costa Brava. Here you not only need a parking place for your very expensive car but a mooring for your very expensive boat/yacht right outside your very expensive villa or apartment!

 Just 2 of the nice cars we saw today. 

 Part of the great shopping area of Empuriabrava.

 With its 5,000 moorings Empuriabrava is one of the largest marinas in the world.
