Lloret de Mar Events

This Sunday 12th May we can see the 4th edition of the Lloret de Mar triathlon which will again be mainly centred around the  Fenals beach area. The triathlon consists of three sports, the first of which will be  the 700 mts swim (blue route) out into the sea from Fenals beach after which we will see all the competitors race to their bikes for the 20km race along the roads of Lloret (green route)  Once back to base they will then have to complete a 5km run for the 3rd and final part of the triathlon (red route)

So a warning to all locals and visitors to Lloret over the weekend as some roads will closed and parking restrictions are already in place for this event.

Lloret de Mar - Lovers Locks

 It seems that we now have the 'lovers lock' custom taking place in Lloret de Mar. Its said that if a couple fasten a lock on which they have etched or marked with their initials then throw the key into the water as a sign of their love for each other then they will one day return to the place of their lock. The custom is seen in many  cities around the world but where this custom started I dont know! The locks pictured here can be seen fastened to the chain by the Dona Marinera statue in Lloret, at the moment there are just a few so lets see how many are placed there over the coming months!

Lloret de Mar Today

 Several views from along the seafront in Lloret today, where the temperatures are now slowly rising almost daily....mid afternoon today and its now 22c, so for all those who have decided to visit Lloret for the May bank holiday weekend I'm sure they wont be disappointed with the weather.

The forecast is for it to remain about the same over the next few days!
