Lloret de Mar Weather - February


Today in Lloret we have slightly warmer temperatures with a bright blue sunny sky, much better than cold windy days we have recently had.


Even the seagulls on the roof opposite our apartment block are making the most of the sun!

Les Alegries Chuch Service

The first of Father Shea's monthly Christian (English language) church service's took place at Les Alegries church yesterday. A few of Llorets residents attended and were warmly welcomed by Father Shea and his partner Helen. It was  a very cold day which may have deterred a lot of people from moving from their nice cosy homes, but maybe as word gets around then its hoped that more people will attend. 

Father Shea started the service by telling us a little bit about the history of Les Alegries church, how it was the oldest in Lloret and the sea actually used to almost reach to where the church is situated. A lot of hard work has gone into the restoration of this church which for many years stood derelict, and so the community of Les Alegries and Father Shea are needing as much support from residents of the surrounding area to keep this little gem of a church a solid part of the community!
