Costa Brava Towns

 All along the Costa Brava coast you will come across some beautiful little towns and coves, today we visited 2 of the best - Llafranc and Tamariu where the water is crystal clear! Picturesque Tamariu still retains its unspoilt charm of an old fishing village and has a good selection of beach front cafes and restaurants. Llafranc also is equally unspoilt with its small working port and fishing boats, it also has several bars, restaurants, cafes and shops in the little cobbled streets leading down to the beach. Both towns are part of the municipality of Palafrugell situated  just a few kms from the coast.

Views of Tossa de Mar

 One of the most picturesque places on the Costa Brava is our 'next door neighbour' Tossa de Mar.

 Reaching Tossa de mar from Lloret is very easy by boat or bus but to really get the best view of Tossa's unspoilt location you need to take the road out leading to Sant Feliu and pull into 1 or 2 of the viewing points, from where you can can how Tossa is surrounded by miles upon miles of pine forest and stands on a beautiful part of the coast.

Sunday morning Tirada L'art

All those who took part in Sunday mornings Tirada L'art in Lloret had great weather conditions, and as the nets were drawn in they were rewarded with a large catch of assorted fish for all their hard work.

 Preparing and cooking all the fish for breakfast, served with lots of tomato bread and wine! 

Lloret de Mar Christmas lights

 Llorets Christmas lights are looking a little different this year with a new design and using a new LED system they seem a little brighter than other years...even the tree looks brighter, they will be on every day between the hours of 6pm -12midnight. 

Lloret de Mar - December

 Now the recent heavy rain has finally stopped and the sun has reappeared we had the opportunity to get out and take a few photos today. The bright blue sky and sunny photos can be very deceiving though as it did feel quite mild in the sun which is great for those here in Lloret for the holiday weekend...later in the afternoon when the sun goes down however the temperature drops sharply so warm coats and scarves are needed to keep out the chill!
