Lloret de Mar - Old town

As the weather is still very unsettled just now in Lloret,  its not very suitable for lounging about on the beach so maybe you might like to take a walk away from the beach and shops and head towards the old streets of Lloret for a spot of sightseeing. These are just a few of some of the sights you could come across, there are some beautiful old buildings in the narrow back streets with the old style ornate balcony's and doorways. In these streets you will also come across many of the typical Spanish bodegas where you can stop off for a coffee and a snack! 

Regents Pub Lloret de Mar

Your all invited to Regents Pub in Lloret for a special event featuring the Glaswegian Pipers Band on Tuesday evening 28th May. Access to the pub is through the Bolero Park Apartments entrance and down the stairs by reception. 

Lloret de Mar weather

This mornings view from the woodland in Lloret is not the sunny outlook we should have at this time of year!

The weekend is here and the weather is again taking a turn for the worse! Tomorrows forecast is for rain all day long and a high of only 15c, not very good for holiday makers who have decided to spend their bank holiday weekend here in Lloret. Sunday's forecast is much better, showers are possible first thing but then sun is forecast for the rest of the day.

Pirates of the Med!

Until the 29th May you can see an exhibition about the days when pirates ruled the Mediterranean in the downstairs hall of the Casa de Cultura - Plaza Pere Torrent.

Out & about in Lloret.

 Out and about in Lloret today it does now appear that the weather may be becoming more settled...I'm sure I've said that before not too long ago! 

So a few photos of the different sights we came across today while out for a walk in the sun....

 The 1st was actually taken from our balcony of the parrot that seems to have made Fenals his home for the last 2yrs.  He can often be heard making his loud squawking noises as he is flying around our local area, but its now a few weeks since he was heard so I thought he'd moved on to somewhere warmer, but here he is again hopefully hes back for the summer, sadly I don't think he's got a mate yet!

 Some of the beautiful flowers which are now in flower...Bird of Paradise above and a gorgeous pink Magnolia tree in full bloom. 

 The sun shining through the tall pine trees!
