Lloret de Mar Photos

Just a selection of photos taken during the last few days!

In the first one are the colourful fishing boats which are kept on the beach in Lloret. The 2nd one shows the very nicely decorated beach bar at the far end of the beach in Fenals, always a nice relaxing place to have an early evening drink!

In the 3rd photo is the Sensation Catamaran just pulling into Fenals beach.

Lloret de Mar - Fenals Beach

Saturdays and Sundays you can guarantee if the sun is out then there will be hardly a spare place on the beach, yesterday was no exception!

With the recent hot temperatures everyone headed for the beach this weekend and as the pictures show it was just a mass of colour with all the parasols!

Lloret de Mar - Clon Festival 2011

The Clon Festival got off to a fantastic start last night with the Achtung Band, a tribute to U2.

Whether you are a U2 fan or not...I never really have been but after last nights performance Achtung Band must have converted a few people such as me!

They came on stage at 10.15 pm and played  U2 hits almost 2 hrs non stop!

We took  300+ photographs and 8 videos, some of which are here, but you can CLICK HERE to be redirected to see lots more!

Lloret de Mar Clon Festival 2011

I recently posted a piece about this years Clon Festival the first of which is taking place tomorrow night. After seeing the poster it seems that the venue has changed from Placa Pere Torrent  where it took place last year, it is now back to the original place of  Roca d'en Maig at the beach..sorry for the mix up!
