Lloret Weather Latest

Just a quick weather update - It has reached 32ºc in Lloret today (34ºc in Blanes) with not a cloud all day! Its now 4.30pm and the current temperature is 29ºc with a very slight breeze making it feel more comfortable. With these hot temperatures it is very hard to keep your cool so drink plenty of water so you don't dehydrate, use plenty of sun cream, the higher the factor the better. Using a high factor will not stop you from getting a tan but will prevent you from the harmful sun rays, and remember to reapply after a dip in the pool.
Talking of pools, here's a few pictures from some of the apartments and hotels in Lloret..fancy a dip?

Also a handy tip, buy a fan just like the older Spanish ladies use, they really do the job of cooling you down!

Lloret News - Clon Festival 2012

This years Clon Festival dates and Tribute bands have now been announced, on the 27th July the festival kicks off with a band I've never actually heard of and they are Heroes de la Antartida a tribute to 'Mecano' I'm told they were a very well known and successful Spanish band during the 80s.
Second on the list playing on 10th August is Séra Clocks a tribute to Coldplay...which I think will be my favourite of this years acts!
On the 24th August will be a tribute to Metallica, and they are Séra Metalmania. 
All the bands can be seen on stage at 10.15pm down by the beach at Roca dén Maig at the opposite end to the castle. For a reminder of last years acts take a look at the photos and videos on the Clon Festival page.
