Market day in Lloret de Mar

Scarves in every colour possible to keep out the cold.

Lloret's weekly outdoor market takes place every Tuesday when most stalls are all set up and business starts at 9am or thereabouts until approx 1pm depending on how good trade is on the day and of course how good the weather is. During the warmer summer months some stall holders will still be trading until 2pm,  today however although its been a bright sunny day it was quite windy and cold so some stalls were been cleared and packed away ready for an early finish at 12 noon.

Just one stall with a few Xmas items on display

Trobada Motera - Lloret 2013

 

Down in the carousel square yesterday we saw many colourful characters all visiting Lloret for the day long bikers event. Entertainment lasted the whole day long with the DJs and live bands providing the music which could be heard from several streets away! The stalls and stands which had been erected on the square had leather clothing and bike accessories etc on sale...while the bar supplied plenty of beer and food, just what every biker needs!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trobada Motera Lloret de Mar

There's a treat in store this Sunday 24th Nov for the bike fans in town, its the 7th edition of the Trobada Motera event taking place on the carousel square 'Placa Pere Torrent' from 9am. Music from guest DJs, local rock band 'Snorfy', Queen tribute band 'Smile' and the most important of all booze and food!
Its always a great sight to see all the hundreds customised bikes as they ride into town and park up all along Av Just Marles for everyone to photograph.

Today in Lloret - Fenals Beach

Its almost like spring today in Lloret the temperature is showing 14c on the main street in Fenals but feels much warmer sat in the sun giving people the chance to get out and enjoy the better weather while they can. This beach bar has reopened now that the bad weather is over - for the time being at least! Here are a few pictures of the people who were out and about that we photographed this morning....

 An elderly couple taking a few pics of each other, it was quite funny watching them as they laughed at the photos they were taking!

 A stylish lady sat by the beach having a few minutes taking in the sun.

Keeping fit with a few exercises on the beach!

 Just a bit of light cloud today, much better than the dark skies of the last few days.

The weather today in Lloret

Winter has definately arrived!

After yesterdays stormy day today is much calmer and a little warmer so off we went down to Fenals beach this morning to see what was happening down there and take a few photos. Lots of families are out taking their usual Sunday stroll and watching the rough sea as it crashes up on the rocks. This weekend the beach bars have now all closed up for the winter, the pedalos and sunbeds are still on the beach but they will be moved off this week sometime I should think.

When it gets this rough the sea usually takes the sand away from one end of the beach and deposits it at the other end!

 

You dont always need sunny skies to make a great photo!
