 A Fantastic day out for all the family in Lloret yesterday!

Heres a short film show and a few still shots taken at the parade for Sant Antoni Abad in Lloret yesterday. They all gathered up near the Olympic Hotel then made slowly made their way down to the chuch via Calle Sant Pedro. From the church they headed down to the sea front where they rode 3 times around the paseo. The horses ranged from very young donkeys to large stallions and shire horses, hundreds of people lined the streets as the parade went by.

Lloret Sunday Market & Classic cars


 Its been a good day in Lloret today with plenty of activity in town and the weather was great with hardly a cloud in the sky!
The first stop for us today was to head down to the market and classic cars exhibition for some photos for the blog. There were only three cars there today so that was a disappointment, maybe they had all taken off somewhere else for the day with the weather being so good!



Most of the market stalls were selling second hand stuff, much of which any normal person would have thrown out years ago as you can see in the photos below!
Although some stalls were selling some nice things such as hand made jewellery, ornaments for the home and clothing.


After the market the horses and their riders were due in town for the Sant Antoni Abad festival so the next stop was to go to the church where they were all going to gather at 11.30...photos of which you can see here tomorrow.

Lloret de Mar Weather Today


Its been another glorious day in Lloret today, it must have been the warmest day of the year so far. Temperatures were forecast to hit 26º today and 24º tomorrow. There does seems to be quite a lot of enthusiasm with the local bar owners, with most expecting a good year business wise. As you walk around just now there are quite a lot of holidaymakers here with more expected to arrive during the coming week. These photos taken today show the boat cabins up and running so people can take a nice trip on the boats to either Tossa de Mar or Blanes.

Fenals beach today.
