Antiques Fair in Lloret

 Well, the Antiques Fair in Lloret today was a very disappointing affair! In total there were only about another 4-5 stalls part from the ones here in the photo....very different to last year when there was a double row almost stretching from the town hall to the museum! 

The weather forecast may have put some people off but it didnt stop anyone from visiting the beach! The sky was looking very stormy first thing but it soon cleared in the afternoon and lasted until early evening when the heavens opened and the storm came!

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.
