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.
