Lloret de Mar Sunrise

Looking towards Lloret from Fenals.

After the previous shots of the evening sky in Lloret yesterday, these photos show just how the sun rise looked at 7.30 this morning from our balcony. These are genuine photos which have not been re touched at all.

Lloret de Mar Weather and November Views

Looking towards Blanes from Fenals

Wish you were here? 

Its getting to that time of year again now where the weather in Lloret is feeling very cold when the sun goes down. These photos taken from our balcony only 30 minutes ago (just 5minutes apart)

show the fantastic wintery skies we see at this time of year.

Temperature wise though is not as bad as temps in the UK  just now  at 18.15pm its 10º c, but after the warm daytime  temp of today which reached 18ºc (25º yesterday) it is feeling rather chilly out there!

Lloret de Mar - Costa Brava Rally 58

The ever popular historic Costa Brava Rally is again due to be held in Lloret de Mar next week- end 5-6 November. It was estimated that there would be 100 teams taking part, but at the end of closing date for entries the total is 117 teams from 16 different countries which have now signed up - most are from Spain. A map of where most activity will be while the cars are in town can be found here....Costa Brava Rally.

Smoking Ban in Spain

Smoking in Spanish bars is to be banned as from 2nd January next year. This has now been made law after a loophole allowed bars to choose whether they wanted to be a 'smoking' or 'non smoking' bar. Most decided to allow smoking, but some in this area which took the no smoking choice saw their takings fall as people went to the bars where they were allowed to smoke, I know of a few places which then started  to allow people to smoke. So what will happen in January? Hopefully the bars wont see their takings fall any more than they have around here owing to the exchange rate etc. I should think it wont be as drastic here as back in the UK owing to the fact that people in Spain do spend more time sat outside the bars than they do inside....weather permitting of course!
