Lloret de Mar in bloom!

 Now that the summer is well and truly here, there is plenty of colour in Lloret just now. As you walk around the town and through the woods flowers are in full bloom...and talking of flowers, just now in Girona is the annual flower festival taking place 12th - 20th May. Well worth a day trip out there as the city is literally covered with flowers at this time of year!

A day at Blanes Market from Lloret

Just a 20 minute bus journey from Lloret de Mar is Blanes town, where every Monday is market day, and in my opinion is the best market around. Purchase your ticket  from Lloret bus station and jump on the bright yellow L1 bus which drops you right on the beach front in Blanes where the market stretches from one end to the other! For the return journey back to Lloret the bus stops just by the first stall of the market, at present the fare is €1.50 each way.

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.
