Lloret de Mar - Beach

 

Just a couple of beach scenes recently taken on Lloret beach....

Makes a change from building sandcastles I suppose!

Lloret de Mar - Costa Brava Rally.

Pictures from Saturday 21st October, with good conditions for the rally....

This week-end in Lloret was the '54 Costa Brava Rally' event for the Spanish and Catalan championships...

The main base for the cars was up near the Olympic Hotel where all the cars taking part could be seen, although these cars were on show outside the Town Hall. They were drawing lots of attention from passers-by, with every one wanting to take photo's.

Lloret de Mar - Beach scenes

The season in Lloret is slowly coming to a close. Less people are now here on holiday, these four photos were taken today, the top two showing plenty of room on the beach in Fenals. The weather is still very good with the temperature today being 25c with a nice breeze.

These two photos show the beach at boadella today, just a nice easy stroll over the hill through the woods at the far end of Fenals beach, again with hardly anybody sunbathing. Most of the sunbathers were nudist's who usually use this beach.

 

Lloret de Mar - Bus services

We are very lucky in Lloret to have a bus station with so many links to other places, both near and far. To start with there is a choice of 3 free buses which will take you to either the Go - Karting, Waterworld or Marineland, ( but you do have to pay the entrance fee when you get there)....
There are direct buses to take you sightseeing or shopping in the nearest cities of Girona or Barcelona. Then there is the direct service to the nearest airport of Girona.
Other resorts such as Tossa de Mar or Blanes are also easily reached by bus from Lloret, both places are only 20mins away.
For trips further afield its possible to catch buses to Olot, Palafrugell or Auigamolls, on the way seeing a lot more of the beautiful Catalan countryside!
Also very handy - although not so much these days with the bargain flights available, is that the Eurolines bus company have a ticket office in the bus station. From here you can book and travel to anywhere in Europe.

Lloret de Mar - Weather

After all rain which we've had last week, the weather is now back to normal, for this time of year. The beach is quite busy with the boats and water sports centre up and running again. 

 With the hot weather this year we had a lot of jelly fish out at sea - gladly, they now seem to have cleared up.

The above photo is the glass bottom boat up the coast at Tossa de Mar. This boat goes from Tossa up the coast towards San Felieu, taking you around the rocks and into the many caves there. Where you should be able to see all the different kinds of fish and 'things' that live out there in the sea!!
