Lloret de Mar - out and about!

 Out and about yesterday in Lloret, here are just a few random shots taken around the town....

Its a busy weekend in Lloret!

What a fantastic day its been today in Lloret, the beach has been packed with hardly a space to be found!  We had a really hot spell towards the end of June when we were getting temperatures in the high 30s but its now cooled down feeling much more comfortable with temps 26-27ºc.

 These photos from today showing some of the girls on the beach topping up their tans....some may have even taken a trip on the Ladies Parasailing to cool down!

Enjoy & Respect Lloret de Mar!

 New leaflets are been handed out to visitors to Lloret which give recommendations for enjoying their time in the town. Stricter guidelines are now in force and fines will be given out to those who dont comply....here is a copy of the leaflet with details of the new regulations.

Fines of up to €3,000 will be given for underage drinking, anti social behaviour, endangering your life or that of another person, damaging property in the streets and prostitution in public places.
Swimming costumes must be only worn on the beach or on the roads next to beach otherwise you could be find up to €750 for this offence...so be wise and cover up!
For a late night singing and shouting session on your way back to your hotel which disturbs others in the nearby area could land you with a fine of €1,500!

Parrots in Lloret

For  the last week or so we have been hearing an unfamiliar squawking in our local area just a minute or so from the beach in Fenals. I finally managed to see what it was yesterday and quickly got hold of the camera and took these photos before it disappeared again! We have seen parrots before in Lloret but they tend to live at the back of the resort in the woods. This one is different from the usual short tailed parrots and are wondering if he has escaped from somewhere as he does seem to be living alone.
