Events in Lloret de Mar.

On the 2nd Sunday in every month there is an arts and crafts fair held in the Placa Pere Torrent on the 'river road' in Lloret.
Things to be found here are home made bread, honey, shoes , slippers and all sorts of ornaments and jewellery.
Also on sale there is loads of second hand Spanish stuff!
Almost like what we would describe as a boot sale in the UK.

The sale starts at 9am and goes on until appox 1pm. 

A Sunny Sunday in Lloret de Mar

The sun is not the only thing that came out this beautiful Sunday in Lloret de Mar- lots of people have crawled out of the woodwork too, the seafront was very crowded with people enjoying a Sunday stroll in the sunshine.

Temperatures at midday reached 17 oC which is above average for the time of year.

The Lloret 'Express'

The Lloret express, usually known as the wally trolley here in Lloret! will take you from the beach front on various routes round the town.
Prices start at 3 euros for a trip along the sea front in Lloret then over the hill into Fenals and back.
6 euros will take you on a scenic journey round the town then up into the urbanisation of Roca Grossa, from where you can look down onto Lloret and see what I consider the best coastline in Spain! It is best to choose a clear day as Roca Grossa is sometimes covered in low cloud, so then you would see nothing!
A 10 euro trip takes you from Lloret again over into Fenals, but further on into the Santa Clotilde Gardens situated at the top of the cliffs. The gardens are immaculately planted with various plants and trees.

We will publish more about the gardens along with photos at a later date.

A Day Trip From Lloret.

Two very different views of Blanes down the coast. A nice way to spend the day while based in Lloret. Monday going round the market, which is all along the sea front. Then a walk round the harbour.
As you get off the bus from Lloret the market is straight opposite. Then as you walk through to the other end you will come to the harbour where all the boats of the 'rich' are moored.

Thanks to friends from England, Wendy and Catherine for the photos, hope you had a good holiday!

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.
