Lloret de Mar-Fira Americanos

 We got some lovely photos from the Fira dels Americano parade today. There was a small group of people who were dressed in reproduction costumes just as the wealthy people of Lloret would have done way back in the 19th century when they had returned to Lloret after earning their fortunes over in the West Indies and Cuba.

Lloret de Mar, a day at Marineland

For a fantastic family day out from Lloret de Mar (or just about any resort in the area) you can be sure to be entertained from the moment you step through the gate to stepping back out at the end of your visit to Marineland. Advertised as '2 parks in 1' you first of all have the parrot show and then the sea lions and dolpin shows - all great fun from start to finish. The waterpark features will keep all the family amused for the rest of the day, see more photos and videos from a day at MARINELAND HERE
