Lloret de Mar - Weather



Well there's nothing much happening in Lloret just now, although there's quite a few tourist's in town. At this time of year its usually couples with younger children who have not yet started school, and people who dont like the harsh sun of August!

After a few cloudy days which we had towards the back end of last week, yesterday the temperature was 28c. Todays forecast is for 25c in Barcelona...it is already that here in Lloret!!

Lloret de Mar - Weather

Clouds Gathered out to sea early yesterday evening. As the evening went on it started to rain. Until eventually we had a full storm raging all over town, which went on for most of the night.

This morning though the sun is shining again...the current temperature is 21c, so later today it should reach 23-24c at least!

Lloret de Mar, A guide to eating out.

La Campaña

Where ever you are staying in Lloret you will never be far away from a very good and reasonably priced restaurant!

The most popular place for chicken is La Campana (Pedro's) The chicken here  done on the spit is the best I have tasted its usually served with chips and salad and to make it a complete night out there is live music and dancing. Pedro's can be found in Lloret up the hill 'Carrer de L'Areny' behind the museum on the seafront.

One of the nicest decorated places to eat is La Fusta. Here there is a good choice of menu ranging from pasta, grilled meats such as lamb chops and steak...the goulash is very good and very filling! The menu of the day is very good value, the cost is about 8.20 euros which includes a 3 course meal with wine. The address is...Hospital Vell 8, only 2mins from the church.

One of my favourites is Can Guidet, situated across the road from the Olympic Suites Hotel at the back of Lloret. The Can Guidet stands in its own grounds and gardens where they grow much of their own produce. Here you'll find a typical Catalan Menu, but dont worry its not too far out of the ordinary! Just a really good varied menu aways cooked perfectly, especially the 'galtes'...pigs cheek cooked in tasty gravy with onions and sauted potatoes. This dish is a favourite of many locals in Lloret....me included!!

The following restaurants are situated in the Fenals area of Lloret.
On the sea front is the Xaloc and then just next door is the Fenals International. Both have very good varied menus, the steaks in both are equally as good and large!

Playa De Aro

The beach at Playa De Aro just seems to go on and on, at more than 2km long it is one of the longest beaches on the Costa Brava. Just like anywhere else on the Costa Brava this beach is kept spotlessly clean.
It also has the services of lifeguards and first aid centres.
You can also join in at the Beach Fun Area which is free for anyone, activities here include...water-volleyball, beach- tennis, football, beach- rugby and for the younger children there is a work shop where they can learn crafts and take part in their own gentler games! All under cover so there is no danger of sunburn!!
