Lloret Clon Festival 2013

Yesterday was the first of this years Clon Festival events with the Beatles tribute band 'Abbey Road'

This time the festival got off to a different start with a very successful early evening event for the children, giving the scene an unusual backdrop of the sea crashing up on the rocks behind the stage. Abbey Road were due back on stage at 10.30, I'm sure that the hundreds of people who turned up to watch them had a fantastic time just as all the kids did for the early show....excellent!

The next band will be a tribute to Red Hot Chili Peppers the 'Funky Monks' see them on stage at 10.30pm 9th August.

Lloret de Mar Fireworks 2013

Instead of going over to watch the annual fireworks display from the beach as we usually do, we had the idea of trying to see them from a distance and found a very good spot in between Lloret and Fenals. No photos this time as they do tend to all look the same after taking them year after year, but here's something a little different - 2 videos of the full 20 minute display but all crammed into less than 2 minutes!

Fenals Beach

Just on the edge of the hectic nightlife area of Lloret you will find a completely different atmosphere - taking a relaxing evening stroll along the beaches of Fenals and Lloret de Mar is the ideal way to wind down after your HOT day on the beach or a busy day trekking round the shops looking for those holiday souvenirs to take back home!

Lloret de Mar - places to visit

After living in Lloret for almost 10 years we have never been to the top of the Sant Juan tower which we can see from our home in Fenals, we just didn't realise how good the views would be from the top. We have walked past the entrance to the tower countless times however yesterday we did  climb all the stairs to the top...and the amazing views seen here are the result!

Looking up from the inside.

A random shot taken by just pointing the camera over the edge!
