To celebrate Ann's 50th birthday it was party night in Buzzbys last night. Many of her family and friends came from all over the UK to help her celebrate, and celebrate we did...until about 4am!

So I should think there's a few sore heads in Lloret this morning!!

Steve and Stan behind the bar did a great job keeping the booze flowing, and there was a fantastic selection of food all laid out on the pool table outside. So thanks to Steve and his army of sandwich makers for their hard work!

Lloret de Mar - Todays Weather

3 views from Fenals beach today.

Today has been the busiest day on the beach so far this year.

The current temperature (at 3pm) in the shade is 23c, and there's more to come tomorrow!

Lloret de Mar - Samba Hotel

Yesterday (1st May) was a holiday for most workers here in Spain, all shops were closed. Many people are making this holiday into a long week-end, and will not return to work until Monday. The only places open here in Lloret were the bars & restaurants. The weather forecast is also very good for the coming week-end.

After a very slow start to the season, over the last few days Lloret has really come to life with thousands of tourists coming into town...somehow I just don't think they are here for the advertised Scrabble competition at the Hotel Samba shown on the above poster !

Formula 1 - Lloret de Mar

The Spanish Grand Prix is taking place today in Barcelona. The weather is very good, current temp is 23c.

Down on the beach in Lloret the flags are flying at the beach bars and with thousands of people in town its certainly a party atmosphere here today!

Barcelona Romance !

April 23rd St George's Day...


As we all know St George is the patron saint of England, but also what many people don't know he is also the patron saint of Catalunya. While in England the day passes with hardly a mention, here in Catalunya you are made aware of this special day from morning till night. Mainly because it is tradition here that woman are given a rose by their husband or partner.
In turn the men should receive a book given to them by the woman in their life!

The book sellers and flower stalls on the Ramblas in Barcelona do a roaring trade every year, and almost everyone is either carrying books or roses.

Many men seem to be carrying several roses...so you can make up your own mind about what is going on in his life !!
