Chinese New Year in Lloret

 Yesterdays Chinese New Year celebrations were a massive success for Lloret as thousands of people came into town and lined the streets to watch the passing parade. The giants of Lloret also made an appearance dancing they're way along the road with the colourful Chinese dragons. Just like the previous weekend for the carnival we once again had a beautiful sunny day for the event!

Those taking part in Sundays Carnival parade had great weather I'm glad to say,2 nice warm days in a row for them..we dont usually get that! Altogether we took more than 400 photos over both days, its so difficult deciding which are the best for publishing...but here are just a few more which I thought the best of the bunch!

Well done to the team from Tossa de Mar (see the photos below) as they were this years winners!
