Trobada Motera - Lloret de Mar

Just a few more scenes from Sundays 'Trobada Motera' - the annual bikers event held in Pere Torrent and Av Just Marles area in Lloret.

I take it this bike goes like a bullet!!

Just one of the many customised Mustangs on show.

Bikes for as far as the eye can see!

Lloret de Mar - Tirada de l'art

 Tirada de l'art is an old method of fishing from the beach and is how many people of Lloret earned their living for many years. The net is cast out sea then manually hauled in by the people of the town who were then given a few fish in return. These days its still a tradition which is carried out on the first Sundays of February and December to pay tribute to all those fishermen of years gone by.

 Yesterday lunchtime the net was drawn into the beach as spectators watched and waited to see what was caught in the net. I'm glad to say it was a much better haul than we saw last year! Once the fish is on the beach its taken up the prepared barbecue for cooking and served with bread and of course (lots of) wine for the waiting crowds!

Catch of the day with lots and lots of small fish but quite a few large ones!

Trobada Motera - Lloret de Mar

What a fantastic turn out for the latest custom bikes event today in Lloret, all the way down Av Just Marles bikes of every make, size, shape and colour were lined up on both sides of the road! In the carousel square were stands and stalls selling bike/motor accessories and of course the usual 'refreshments' for the thirsty bikers! A stage was also set up for the days entertainment and live music from local band Snorfy later tonight...a great day with great weather for the bikers and all those who were there to see their machines on show!
