Lloret de Mar weather in October

"How long is this weather going to last" everyone in Lloret de Mar seems to be saying these days!

 We are now half way through October and still the temperatures are way above what they should be for this time of year. It was forecast that it would be cooler as from Sunday and as this video shows we have had a fair bit of cloud today - but still it reached 25ºC by this afternoon and the cloud slowly drifted away.

So plenty warm enough to soak up the sun on the beach for those here on holiday!

Lloret de Mar Indoor Market

Lloret's indoor market is to undergo a much needed make over - the first time that anything has been done to the interior since it opened back in the 1970s. With the plans to improve lighting and possibly increase the floor space (once the nearby police station moves to its new location) its hoped that it will attract more local customers and also tourists. At present there are 63 stores but not all are open for business, most of the stalls are selling meat, fish and fresh fruit and vegetables.

Lloret de Mar Events

Lloret - Fenals Beach Clean-up!

On Fenals beach this Sunday 2nd Oct there will be a group of divers who are volunteering at an attempt to clean up the sea bed close to the coast. This is a yearly organised event along the Costa Brava as some of the things which are thrown into the sea are very toxic and harmful to the sea life and fauna - for example car batteries are often found.
Names of all those taking part will be entered on a list and no one will be allowed to dive alone for safety reasons.

Excursions from Lloret de Mar

While your on holiday on the Costa Brava and you want a day out with a difference I recommend you book a trip to Rupit & Besalu with the Laietana excursion company.

After picking you up close to your hotel you will be driven through the Catalan countryside to Rupit where you will have free time to marvel at its original suspension bridge, one of the few surviving examples of its kind, walk through the ancient streets and browse around the shops where you can buy typical goods of the region.

From Rupit the coach will travel to the Sanctuary El Far from where you have one of the finest views of the Catalan region, after which you will be taken to the restaurant for a 3 course lunch with wine, sangria and coffee with brandy!......all included in the price of about €47.

After lunch and passing through Olot the coach will take you to Besalu where there will be free time to explore the cobbled streets of the village and admire its romanic bridge.
At the end of the tour you can sit back and relax on the coach while you are driven back to your resort and original pick up point. I advise you wear flat comfortable shoes for this day out as some of the streets in the villages are quite steep.
