A Visit to Playa de Aro

 A treat for the boating fans taking their holidays in Lloret de Mar would be a trip up the coast to the town of Playa de Aro. To the south of the resort is a beautiful marina where you can take a stroll to view all the boats which range from the smallest sail boat to the larger and much more expensive yachts. At Playa de Aro there is also a fantastic shopping area so maybe this could be a good opportunity for the ladies to go shopping while the men do a bit of wishful thinking while taking a look around the marina at the boats!

What a strange place to plant such a large tree - on the roof terrace of this apartment block, I'm glad I don't live on the next floor down!

Lloret de Mar weather in June

A heatwave is on the way to Lloret for the coming week, temperatures will reach mid to high 30s so get the sun cream ready and drink plenty of water if your out and about this week!

UK allowance for tobacco & cigarettes etc

There is often confusion about the allowance of tobacco, cigarettes and spirits which can be imported back into the UK as you return from your holiday in the EU. This handy guide might help to save you  from getting all your goods confiscated on your return!

A stroll along the seafront!

 Here are a few recent pics taken along the seafront in Lloret...

In the first picture you can see the yellow L2 bus, a very handy service if you need to travel between Lloret de Mar and Fenals and you dont fancy the walk! At present the fare is €1.35.
In the second picture are the kiosks where to book your boat trips to other beaches and resorts such as Tossa de Mar, Blanes, and Calella.

 Here we have part of the nightlife area which comes to life late at night and closes as the day breaks!

 To get away from the heat of the sun you can take a stroll through the older streets towards the back of town....some are lined with colourful trees giving lots of shade.

Fira dels Americano's

 Lloret stepped back in time over the weekend to the days of the Americano's with exhibitions, craft stalls, music, guided tours, and also a look at how they dressed in those early years.
