Beaches of Lloret de Mar - Fenals

Something a little different today with our two eerie looking special effects views of the rocky coves of Fenals beach.

Lloret de Mar weather in January

Well, after yesterdays brilliant sunny day when we had temperatures that reached 16ºc, today we are now surrounded by a cold damp mist and rain is forecast for the rest of the day. It seems that everyone was out enjoying the good weather yesterday and as it will soon be carnival time it was a great opportunity for some of those taking part in the parade to practice their dance routines.

 All the people in the photos below had their own reasons for been out in Fenals enjoying the sun.

 This man was making handmade purse's and bracelets to sell.

 A stroll on the beach and those who felt more engergetic were using the exercise area.

 Dog walkers and cyclists in the woods.

Burn's Night in Rabbies Bar

It was a packed house for Burns night celebrations in Rabbies Bar last night...the bar in Fenals which is named after the Scottish poet himself. Thanks to Hammy, Linda and Colin for the typical 'Burns supper' of haggis, mince, tatties and neeps, it was a great evening enjoyed by all as you can tell!

Rabbie's Golf Tournament.

Rabbies Bar golf tournament yesterday was for the first time played for the 'Colin Linkie' trophy. Colin's wife Angie was quite emotional as she awarded the trophy to winner Johnny Madrid from the Alcatraz bar in Calella.

In the photos here are some of the players who took part and also some of Angies closest friends who were there to support her on this extra special day.

Lloret de Mar Restaurants

 One of my favourite restaurants in Lloret is the El Senglar which is just 2-3km outskirts of town in a countryside setting, in the restaurants grounds are a lovely collection of animals some of which you can see here, also seperate to the restaurant is a large BBQ which is ideal for the summer months. Their daily three course menu is still only €6, and it really is great value for money with generous sized portions of excellent food!
