Lloret de Mar Carnival 2012


 This years carnival was a great success, thousands of people gathered in the town to see the week end parades, and a huge bonus was that the sun shone for both days! We saw the Sunday parade which started at 12noon and it took almost 3hrs to pass. Here's just a sample of the 300+ photos and film clips we took more can be seen on Lloret de Mar Carnival
It was a fantastic day enjoyed by young and old!

Lloret de Mar Weather

Today in Lloret we've had a beautiful sunny day and its certainly felt much warmer. Even the local school had a trip to the beach at lunchtime......maybe summer is on the way back!

Lloret is falling apart!

I'm not exactly sure whats happened here in Fenals but we have noticed for a while now that the walkway between the beach bar and the beach wall has been gradually dropping. Its now given way altogether and left a big gaping hole which has been fenced off to prevent any accidents. Just how they will repair this I've no idea, as the part which has given way is right above where the underground waterflow from the mountains runs down to the sea. Its going to be a major job which will have to be repaired before the new summer season starts, lets see how they cope!
