Lloret de Mar Christmas

Lloret's tree outside the town hall

The shops in Lloret are very busy these days with just about everyone in town and also visiting holidaymakers trying to get their Christmas shopping done. The Spanish celebrate the holiday just as we do in the UK but they will be sitting down to eat  their main meal on Christmas eve. The 6th Jan is the day that the children will be waking up to find that the three kings have been and delivered all their gifts while they were sleeping. They will have already been out to see the Kings procession arrive in their town the night before, this is a massive event for the children as all those taking part in the parade throw sweets out to the crowds and the kids try to catch as many as possible!

Just another day in Lloret!

Lloret's Classic Cars

Classic cars were on show at the monthly Sunday market yesterday, including the Cortina Lotus above which is owned by a well known bar owner in Blanes!

Not sure what this is!

Lloret de Mar Christmas Fare

 The church square was crowded yesterday with people looking around the traditional Christmas fare stalls. Local produce goods were on sale, but it seems the most popular stalls were the ones giving out free tapas & wine provided by the Xino Xano organisation!
