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!
