Sunny October in Lloret

Here are some stunning views of Fenals beach taken just last week. For the start of October we had bright sunny days with good temperatures but now it seems that winter is now closing in as this weekend has been much cooler with quite a bit of rain. The resort is now very quiet with some hotels, bars and restaurants already closed for the season...others are planning on closing by the end of the month. 

Costa Brava Rally 61

Friday 11th and 12th October we will once again see the oldest Rally in Spain starting off from Lloret de Mar. The cars will be down by the town hall promenade on Friday in preparation for the official start time of 7pm that evening. 90 cars have so far registered to be taking part this years event.

Lloret de Mar, Cala Banys views

 One of the most picturesque views in Lloret!

Looking out to sea from the terrace of the bar at Cala Banys

 Back in May I published photos of the 'lovers locks' which are been fastened to the chain surrounding the Dona Marinera statue, since then many more have been placed there with names and dates of the people who left them.

 A lovely clear view of the coast showing Blanes in the distance.

Health & Safety in Lloret

One of the apartment blocks near where we live are getting a much needed make over....no health and safety rules  apply here though!

Sant Joan Tower Lloret

As you look from the beach of Lloret towards Fenals you will see the tall round tower of Sant Joan perched on the cliffs. So if you ever feel like an energetic walk to reach it you have lovely views of all the local coastline. Here is a short video taken from the top of Sant Joan Tower when we visited this weekend...but we are very lucky that we live quite nearby so its more of a leisurely stroll for us!
