Beach Bars

 
The beach bars in Lloret now seem to be doing a roaring trade, it looks as though the great weather we have been experiencing just lately has brought quite a lot of people into town for a short pre-season relaxing break or a spot of sight seeing!

Lloret de Mar Full Moon


Something out of this world for a change!

We have a photo here of the moon as we can see it tonight from our balcony in Lloret. 
Enlarge the picture by clicking on it and you can even see the craters.

Lloret de Mar Triathlon

It was an exciting day in Fenals on Sunday with the Triathlon...I'm not sure how many took part but it must have been in the hundreds judging by how many bikes were lined up in the parking area. The day started off on the beach with all participants running into the sea for the 700mts swim after which there was a mad dash to the bikes for 20 km bike ride which wove all around the roads and narrow side streets of Fenals. The last part of the event was the 5km run. There were lots of people lining the streets to watch and cheer on all those who took part....a great atmosphere !

Lloret de Mar - Best Bars


One of the most popular bars in Lloret de Mar is Rabbies and is managed by Linda. Here you can find a real mix of people - including the locals who have lived in Lloret for years, then visitors who come several times a year, and quite often holiday makers who are maybe just discovering Lloret for their first time. No matter who it is they are all made welcome and made to feel as though they have just walked into their local pub at home! 
If you are coming to Lloret for a holiday or a short break this year I can guarantee you will feel at home in this bar. They are a football friendly bar so no matter what team you support if its on TV then you only have to ask Linda and she will put it on for you. There's always a great atmosphere in Rabbies!......see more pics and directions to this great pub here > Lloret Rabbies
