Lloret Clon Festival 2014

 The Bruce Springsteen tribute band 'Manel Fuentes & The Springs Team' were the first act  for this years Clon Festival and what a great show they put on! We were there last night (Fri 18th July) for the start at 10.30pm and as usual managed to get right to the front of the stage where we could get some real close up shots of the band, just a few of which are here on this page but more can be seen here >

Beaches closed after shark spotted

Six beaches between the Barcelona towns of El Masnou and Premia de Mar were closed on Tuesday after a Blue Shark was spotted close to shore by the lifeguards.

Blue sharks which can weigh approx 80 kilos are not normally a threat to humans unless they themselves feel threatened. Two more sharks were later seen in the same area.

The beaches were reopened on Wednesday morning.

Today in Lloret

 It seems that everyone in Lloret today headed for the beach and with the temperature reaching 33ºc its no surprise! Its nice to see so many holiday makers in town just now after what has been a very slow start to the season.

Lloret's Russian Festival

As it was such a lovely evening yesterday we decided to take a walk over to see the dancers and singers taking part in the Russian Festival, here are the results of just a few of the photos we took. They all put on a fantastic show which was enjoyed by the hundreds of spectators who had taken their places around the stage well before the concert started.

To us the star of the show was the young girl below who I believe they said came from Lloret de Mar, she had a beautiful voice and sang an opera style song without a hint of nerves and got a great applause at the end...a really emotional moment!

Just a few of the spectators below with the not too happy looking judges!
