Lloret de Mar Beach

This photo of the beach in Lloret de Mar is taken from Sa Caleta area just by the castle, I always used to prefer to sun bathe here when I used to come to Lloret on holiday. Its quite rocky here so you have be careful if you go into the sea, but for families its ideal as its quite a narrow stretch of sand so you can keep a close eye on the kids. Plus the slope into the sea is not as steep as other parts of the beach.

Lloret de Mar Weather

After weeks and weeks without a drop of rain here on the coast in Lloret it finally arrived today, there was a bit of thunder through the night but this morning started off as a nice but cooler day.
Mid morning a storm started and very heavy rain, the photos are taken from our balcony. We hope that the temperatures will be more bearable for a few days now as temperatures have been in the 30s for what seems like forever!

Lloret's Fireworks

The fireworks display on Monday night  was another huge success with thousands watching all over town. Again, the same as last year they  were set to music from various movies. We were watching from the beach where there was hardly a space to be found!

Our Visitors!

This morning we had 2 early morning visitors to our balcony!

We had heard an unusual  noise in the tree unlike any bird we have heard before, when all of a sudden these 2 parrot like birds landed right on the piece which separates us from next door. We suspect that they might not be wild but have escaped from a cage somewhere.

Lloret de Mar Clon Festival, Michael Jackson

 The first of this years Clon Festival events began night with the Michael Jackson Tribute, it was again a fantastic success and held in its new location of Placa Pere Torrent (the carousel square) which proved to be a good move. Whether you like Michael Jackson or not it was a very good show and he sang and danced for 2 solid hours!

I wouldn't like to guess how many watched last nights show but its certainly the biggest crowd I've seen for any of the previous tribute events.
