Easter Sunday in Lloret de Mar

As predicted by just about everyone here the brilliant weather we have been having has suddenly made a turn for the worse for the Easter holidays. This morning we woke to a damp, dismal and a much cooler morning, so no sunbathing on the beaches for today at least but still everyone is out and about walking and riding along the seafront!

A day at Hostalric near Lloret

This Easter weekend Hostalric will be hosting its usual Easter Medieval Event when the town will be transported back to years gone by and resemble an 'Olde Worlde' village with market stalls of local made crafts and foods, entertainers and activities etc. With the fortress walls surrounding Hostalric and its tiny narrow streets it will surely be not too hard to imagine just how the village looked back in those medieval times!

Lloret de Mar by Night

 After yesterdays sports teams taking part in games on Lloret beach last nights pictures show a much more tranquil scene with the lights from the seafront stores, restaurants...and also an added bonus was the full moon we happened to catch while it was quite low in the sky! 

Fun & Games on the beach!

 Lloret beach yesterday is packed with all the sports teams in town just now, hundreds of students are taking part in the events and with this great weather we're having here it looks as though they're all having a fantastic time!

Palm Sunday in Blanes

Just a week to go before the busy Easter holiday period but already the resorts are very busy with holiday makers especially as today is Palm Sunday. Today we spent 3-4 hours in Blanes the next resort down the coast from Lloret where all along the seafront and around the harbour area was filled with families enjoying the warm weekend weather.
