Lloret de Mar Coast.

These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago on Fenals beach. It was a beautiful clear day, but it was very windy making the sea quite rough. You can't really tell from the photos how high the waves were, but nobody would have stood a chance if they had been caught up in waves.

Many people who visit the Costa Brava don't always realize how rough the sea can be, making it unsafe for swimming.
So it is always best to look at what colour flag is flying before going into the sea. The colours are - green for safe bathing, yellow means bathing with caution and red is a definate NO!
It may sometimes look safe, but there may be strong underwater currents.

Lloret de Mar Classic Car Rally

The Lloret de Mar classic car rally got of to a rather wet start on Sunday the 5th of March.

There were few spectators wishing to brave the wet windy weather on the seafront at 9 am- however the day did get brighter and more people were around at the checkpoints and to see the cars return to the promenade around 2pm.

The last few shots of the Carnival.

Hope you enjoyed looking at the photos we published, its a pity we couldnt have brought you the sound as well!! as every float had their own 'deafening music' which they all danced along to.
There is always something happening in Lloret.
