Lloret de Mar Winter

 Lloret is looking very different these days, here's a few shots to show those who only visit in the summer what the town is like during the winter months!

Out and about with the camera yesterday, as you can see it looks a little depressing with the empty beach and streets. Many of the hotels are now boarded up and closed until next year, also a lot of businesses such as restaurants, fashion stores, novelty shops are closed.

Of course it will be much livelier for the next 2 week ends with the Christmas & New Year celebrations and also for the day of the Kings on the 6th Jan....and after that the town goes back to sleep!

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!
