Lloret de Mar Weather and November Views

A deserted November beach.

 Not the usual views you might expect from a place like Lloret de Mar!

The recent weather we are experiencing here just lately is still very good with very mild daytime temperatures for the time of year. These two photos show what we thought was a very bad storm brewing up out at sea this week, but all we had was a light rainfall which lasted through the night and then a nice clear sky the next morning.....and again today we have another nice day, although a little bit misty out at sea.

Lloret Medieval Event 2010

Heres a few photos from this week-ends Medieval event in Lloret de Mar which seems to have been a huge success by bringing thousands of people into town. There were far more stalls and activities than previous years, and as you can see from the photo below the streets were packed! So I'm sure that many of the local stores and bars have seen a much needed increase in their takings this week-end.

 The stalls were selling their home made products again...bread,cake, jam, soap, creams and other toiletries. Also a lot of the stalls were selling handmade jewellery, and very nice things for the home such as wall plaques, pottery, and linen items.

Have you ever seen a BBQ as big as this?

 The Medieval street musicians making as much noise as they possibly could!

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.
