Fishing in Lloret

Yesterday we had a temperature of 22º in Lloret and already at 10.30 this morning its 18ºc. With temperatures forecast to rise for this weekend its a great opportunity for getting out and about and enjoying the HOT weather!

 The sea is still very rough as it has been all week but it wont deter the local fishermen from trying to catch lunch for their families!
