Today in Lloret de Mar

Towards the end of September we would now be expecting the temperatures to be on the cooler side especially during the evening and night time but no it's still very hot and humid. These photos are from Lloret seafront today where there is now lots of space on the beach compared to what we have seen during August and the first half of September.

 This car park near the beach now has lots of empty spaces...as from the 16th September you can park for free for the first hour.

September weather in Lloret

Last night we had one of the worst storms for quite some time with loud cracks of thunder lightening which lit up the sky so much it looked like daylight and to top it all hailstones!
Judging by who was online during the early hours of the morning it kept a lot of people from sleeping - me included. This morning however we have a much fresher start to what looks like is going to turn out to be a lovely September day with the current temperature a nice cool 17c and expected to rise to 27c.

This photo is a screen shot from the live webcam showing Lloret de Mar beach taken at 8.30 this morning.

Be on your Guard!

Here is some very good advice to keep you safe from being the victim of the pickpockets who are after your cash and valuables wherever you travel!

Correbous Vidreres

 This is the first time I've come across this annual event which takes place in the nearby little town of Vidreres...thanks to Val who brought it to my attention! The event got off to a start at 7am this morning with the main feature the 'Bull Run' - we didn't actually get there while much later by that time the it was the horses which were putting on a fantastic show in the temporary 'bull ring'
For those who would like to visit the event next year here is a link to their website with more info...Carrebous Vidreres
