Hotel Fire in Lloret de Mar

A small fire started in the top floor laundry room of the Hotel Plaza Paris at 4pm this morning Monday 25th March. All guests and staff were evacuated, but the fire was contained to the laundry room and quickly brought under control after which everyone was then allowed back into the premises.

Lloret de Mar Spaceblaster

The new summer season in Lloret has got off to a flying start with the Spaceblaster opening for the first time this year. First ones to take to the air for the initial run were Gwen & Alexis partners of Mick & Gary....well someone had to be daring enough do it!

Lloret de Mar Weather in March

Today in Lloret we have a fantastic sunny day...see the screen shot showing the true weather conditions and forecast for today. In the sun it feels much warmer than the stated 13ºc temperature so its ideal conditions to get out and about for a walk!

Taking a walk around Lloret de Mar and you quickly realise that Lloret is much more than a beach holiday resort!

These photos are taken at various places around the town.

Llorets ducks on the lake!

 In Fenals just along the road at the back of the Royal Beach hotel the car park has been flooded again this winter and we can now see ducks quite happily swimming there! The car park usually floods and creates this large 'lake' if we have heavy rain through the winter, and dries up again during the summer - So it seems these ducks have quite happily decided to make Lloret their winter home. Wouldn't it be nice if this area was made into a permanent lake and park land area and kept as a place where birds and other small wildlife animals could make their home. It wouldn't take much doing, a few trees, plants, a bit of grass either sowing or laying, a few benches where people could just sit in peaceful a surrounding. Its something that we don't have anywhere in Lloret.

I'm sure it would be much better than a car park which hardly gets used!
