Lloret de Mar Events

A little bit of history came to Lloret this week end with an event dedicated to people from Lloret in the late19th century who travelled over to the Americas and made their fortune, after which they returned and changed the look of Lloret forever by using their wealth to build many of the buildings and monuments we can still see in the town today. A few are the town hall, Museum del Mar and some of the larger buildings along the seafront, streets in the older parts of town and also in the cemetry at the back of town.

Lloret de Mar - Hardy Butts 2011 (Harley Davidson)

Harley Davidson Bikes event in Lloret this year was bigger and better than previous years, just as they said it would be! It was all centered around the Casino, inside as well as out!

 There was a huge display of custom bikes of every shape, size, and colour inside one of the exhibition halls. We got loads of photos so watch out for them tomorrow!

Figueres - Birthplace of Dali

Dali's Theatre

Just a short journey up the coast from Lloret de Mar is the town of Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dali. If you have the use of a car then its easily reached in about 1 hour or so but by public transport you would first have to make your way to Girona then travel by either bus or train from there. Whichever way this is a day not to be missed! All the main sights are situated close to the town centre so are easily reached on foot, also there are lots of cafes, and restaurants where you can take a break from the busy little streets and shops, many of which sell gifts and souvenirs based on the art works of Dali.

St Peter's Church

The town of Figueres itself is a photographers paradise but beware if you go into the museum, you are not allowed to take any photos without first applying for permission! Visit the official web site here....Dali Museum.
