For the full list of events and times see the programme here - Medieval Fira Lloret

Lloret de Mar Beach

 Down on the beach today - its now looking empty but still a few people were able to enjoy the mild temperatures and keep their tans topped up! The orange safety flag was flying warning anyone from going in the sea as it was very rough today....do they take any notice? No they don't, we saw 3 or 4 who were still prepared to risk their lives just to take a short dip!

Still nice enough to sit outside the cafes for a cuppa!

Living in Lloret de Mar

 One of the benefits of living in Lloret de Mar is that we are never too far away from what I think must be some of the best scenery in Spain - whether it be views of the beaches, the rocky coastline of the Costa Brava or the greenery of the surrounding woodland and countryside. A favourite place of mine is up by the Sant Joan tower between Lloret and Blanes from where you have brilliant views of both towns and also mountains in the distance. Just last Thursday it was a fantastic sunny day with some unusual cloud formations and from the tower we managed to get these shots using a couple of different filters on the camera to give them these unusal effects.

November Sunset over Lloret

 It really does seem as though winter is here now! The temperatures have taken a sharp plunge during the last 3-4 days so it does feel quite cold walking on the shady side of the streets...but still very nice in the sun. This is our sunset tonight...the end of another beautiful day in Lloret de Mar!
