Lloret de Mar sunrise

 Saturday 31st May and we've had a beautiful start to the day this morning, we were out very early this morning to catch the sun as it rose up from behind the hills in the distance. Hopefully the sun will stay with us for the rest of the weekend at least!

Catalunya Villages - Madremanya

While out travelling around the Catalan countryside we recently came across a lovely little village called Madremanya just about 35km from Girona. It wasn't until we looked online at the adjuntament website that we realised that the population is less than 300, that must be why the only person we saw as we walked through its winding streets and stone archways was the post woman.....But what a beautiful privileged location they live in!

Lloret de Mar - Today's photos

 At last the sun has made an early appearance in Lloret today giving holiday makers a chance to get out and enjoy the warm temperatures either by relaxing at one of the seafront lounge bars or lazing about on the beach. Dark clouds are building up over the hills behind Lloret threatening to rain but hopefully the sun will stay with us for the rest of today.

Lloret de Mar weather

The predicted bad weather for today seems to have headed off somewhere else as this morning on the seafront  blue sky was spotted through a break in the clouds and its been a very pleasant day so far!

Lloret de Mar weather

Sadly it looks as though this heavy rain we have in Lloret at the moment is set to stay with us for the rest of this week. Over the weekend we have seen Ferris, Siesta and Parks of Hamilton coaches arriving from the UK bringing holiday makers for which some will be their main annual holiday. Let's hope that for all their sakes that the weather does pick up and they do get some nice bright sunny days!
