Lloret de Mar - August weather.

 Just a few random shots taken today around Lloret....

The antiques fair in front of the town hall didn't have many stalls set out today, probably the terrible storm we had yesterday may have put a few people off- but elsewhere around town there were a few people about making the most of the dry weather. With the dark cloudy sky though it looked as though rain could have started again any minute....very strange weather for August we're having just now!

Clon Festival - The Moonwalkers

Michael Jackson Tribute Band

This years Clon Festival came to a sudden close last night as the excellent Michael Jackson tribute act were playing to what must have been the biggest audience of the event....rain stopped the show at 11.50pm. The 'Moonwalkers' started off the night with the later Michael Jackson hits and then went onto his older stuff, a great evening but such a shame we didn't see their full show...maybe they will be back another year!
