Happy New Year from Lloret

Happy New Year to you all from Lloret de Mar.

It seems we are going to have a good weather for the start of the year with blue sunny skies and warmer temperatures than of late. Today the sun is shining and there are lots of people out walking around town and along the seafront. Many of the hotels which closed at the end of the summer season have reopened for the Xmas & New Year holidays and are more or less full with people from all over Europe, the majority are French but Ferris and Siesta coach holidays have brought many British visitors into Lloret and the other nearby resorts. I'm sure they will all appreciate this warm weather here on the Costa Brava...much better than the icey conditions back in the UK!

December weather in Lloret
