Fenals fire update

Latest news about  the fire which broke out in an apartment in Fenals last Saturday is that it accidentally started in the kitchen of the apartment on the 4th floor. Everyone was evacuated no one was hurt but a dog belonging to one of the neighbours sadly died. Looking at the apartment since the fire it looks as though its completely gutted.

Christmas in Blanes

 Blanes have been holding a weekend Christmas market during the month of December so I went along there this weekend to take a look around. It is very similar to the markets that are held in Lloret at this time of year but one thing I do like to see in Blanes is the large nativity set they have every year. A lot of work goes into the making and setting up of the almost lifelike models which will be on show until early January. The market however will take place again this coming weekend 27-29th December and open all day.

Fire in Fenals today

Back view of the apartment block

A fire has broke out in an apartment block above the Leman Restaurant on Avenida Americas in Fenals at about 4.15pm this afternoon. From our apartment balcony it looked very bad as the smoke was pouring out of the apartments windows and also from  air vents on the roof, as yet I don't have any more details but I will give an update as soon as possible.
