Early Morning Views of Lloret

 Yesterday morning we were awake at about 6am, and decided it would be a good idea to get out for a walk though the woods over near Cala Banys before the sun was too hot. You never know what the views will be like from the cliffs or what wild life you will come across in the woods at such an early time.  

In the tree above is a very colourful exotic looking bird  - the Hoopoe, which is quite a common sight round here, about the same size as a magpie.

 We also came across several red squirrels, often seen scurrying about in the woods but the hard part is been quick enough with the camera!

Lloret de Mar - Fenals

 What a nice change to see these few stalls set up along the beach front in Fenals this weekend!

Most of the traders were selling their own handcrafted goods such as jewelry, ornaments for the home and basket ware...but one stall was actually preparing and baking bread which smelled delicious! 

Lloret de Mar - weather

Views of Lloret de Mar beach taken this week - at times it looks very cloudy but this week along with high temperatures we have also had very high humidity figures of 80-90% which is very hard to cope with for everyone here.
