Tirada a l'Art - Lloret Beach

This mornings event of Tirada a L'Art (fishing from the beach) took place at 8am and again those who took part had a beautiful start to day although it was very cold - only 2ºc!

 Out at sea the boat first has to cast the nets so that all those on the beach can drag them back to the shore hopefully full of fish which will then be barbecued and shared out for breakfast.

 Lots of volunteers were on hand to pull in the net this morning.

Young and old, they all like to get involved!

 First sign of the net, what will be in there?

 Preparing the bread with tomato and lots of olive oil, luckily today there was lots of fish to go round!

Lloret de Mar Today

We didnt have to travel far to get these 2 shots of Lloret de Mar today...both photos were taken today from our balcony in Fenals! 

The first photo above is taken just as the sun was rising at 7.50am and the other early this evening as the sun set.

Fenals in a different light!

 Two more of our special effects photos of the beach at Fenals, these were taken using special filters attached to the camera lens....its such a change to get away from the usual shots of empty winter beaches!

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.
