Lloret Beach - Tirada a l'Art

There was plenty of activity on Lloret beach today where hundreds of people congregated for the annual Tirada a l'Art event. All those who join in continually pull on the rope to drag the fishing net from the sea, but today after tugging and pulling for about a hour or so when they finally got the net in there wasn't a single fish landed. It looks to me that maybe the Med is running out of fish!

Lloret de Mar Events

A yearly reconstruction of one of the oldest methods of fishing can be seen on Lloret beach tomorrow at 8am and again at 1pm. Many of the locals will gather just as they did years ago to pull in the (hopefully full) fishing nets which have been cast out to sea. Tirada a l'Art shows how the nets were manually dragged from the sea by the people of Lloret in exchange for a few fish to feed their families. Once the nets are in the catch will be cooked and served on the beach for those taking part. See the video below....weather permitting we'll get our own photos and video tomorrow!

Lloret - Fenals Beach

  

Is this the bravest lady in Lloret? Although the weather is good with reasonable temperatures through the day I think you have to be very brave to take a dip in the sea at this time of year!

Lloret de Mar Bikers Event

A very noisy video taken on Sunday 27th as hundreds of bikers were arriving in town for their special day!

Lloret Bikers Event

 One of the biggest bikers events we have seen took place today in Lloret.  Bikes of every shape, size and make lined the Av Just Marles and all around the carousel square stalls were selling just about everything the serious biker would ever need!

Food and drinks were on sale and live bands played on the specially erected stage in the square...a great lively atmosphere and a good day out for everyone!
