Lloret de Mar Bar's

Its much too hot to be indoors these days, so what better way to enjoy the sun than to spend a relaxing afternoon on the outdoor terrace of one of the bars in Lloret de Mar?

As you wander around the narrow streets of Lloret de Mar you come across little picturesque squares such as this where all the locals meet up and have a coffee or a 'few' beers and catch up on the gossip!
A few more bars you may like to visit can be found in these pages HERE!

Barcelona Port - The World

Docking at Barcelona Port today is the cruise liner
'The World'

The World is a luxurious and very private community of people who choose to live at sea on this unique liner. You can (if you are rich enough!) actually buy an apartment on the liner just as you would buy a home on land, then simply spend your time cruising the world docking at countries on route...a nice idea if you can afford it!  If you have another residence (or residences) on land somewhere its your choice how much time you spend in your home on board, you are free to come and go as you please.

If you would like to see The World in Barcelona you have until tomorrow before she sets sail again, this time for Porto Banus in Southern Spain.

A great idea to get a real close up is to take the boat which takes you on a tour of Barcelona port for only €5.50.

Lloret de Mar Weather

Lloret de Mar beach is certainly very busy these days. This photo taken at the week end shows that after a very slow start to the season there are now plenty of holiday makers in town. The weather has been very unsettled just lately but now seems to be more settled with temperatures in the mid to high 20s. The experts are predicting this summer will be one of the hottest ever, with average highs reaching one or two degrees more than normal, but will be accompanied by storms.
