Out in Lloret de Mar centre tonight and the shops are all nicely decorated for Christmas but the streets are still very quiet. Most hotels are closed but some will be opening shortly for the guests who have booked for their Xmas and New Year holidays.
Several of the shops have good offers on just now hoping to draw people though their doors to spend as much cash as possible. In Spain however the 'Christmas shopping' will carry on until the 5th January as the main day for exchanging gifts is the Day of the Kings on the 6th.
On the run upto Christmas in Lloret this year the weather is still very good, today however its very dull and cloudy but still a very mild 16ºc. The evening time is when the chill really sets in and it feels very cold and damp with almost 100% humidity, so if your spending some time in Lloret over the Christmas holiday then you will need your winter woolies and coats!
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.
