Lloret de Mar Weather - May

Well it now seems that the weather here in Lloret is improving for this month. During the month of April we have had some very strong winds which felt very cold at times. Many days we hardly saw the sun owing to the dark clouds which brought quite a bit of rain. I'm now pleased to say that yesterday and today (1st - 2nd May) the sun has been shining all day long and there's hardly been a cloud in the sky.....at last!!

Ideal weather for flying your kite

Lloret Events - Sant Antoni Abad

 Here we have a few photos showing the horses parading around town for yesterdays Sant Antoni event.

Sant Antoni Abad Parade 2012

It was a beautiful day today for the annual horse parade of Sant Antoni. The horses came into town at mid day and made their way down towards the church where they were all blessed as they rode by. Then in usual tradition they rode around the paseo 3 times watched by hundreds of onlookers.

Costa Brava home improvements

If you are living on the Costa brave and are thinking of having some work done on your property then I can recommend a very good company who have recently done some work on our apartment. We were wanting replacement windows and after having got other quotes we decided to get the work done with http://www.costabravapropertysolutions.es/
After phoning Mr Lindsay Jordan he came and measured up, then sent a quote a few days later. After agreeing to the work we were telephoned approx 2 weeks later with a date for the fitting.
The lads who came to do the work did an excellent job, even cleaning up after themselves for the 2 days of fitting. The company have done a first class job and the windows are top quality, looking much better than I could ever imagine!
For any enqiries for your home improvements email Lindsay -lindsay@ventanascrystal.es

St George's Day in Lloret

Just as in England today is St George's day in Lloret de Mar.

All along the paseo in front of the town hall there have been stalls selling books of just about every subject you could think of. The local tradition is that the women should buy a book for their husbands and the men should buy a rose for their wife. Dragon ornaments were also on sale so I wonder how many husbands dare take one of those home for their wife!

Roses for the Barca fans!
