Lloret de Mar in January

Now that the Christmas and New Year festivities are over we will all be looking forward to when the summer season begins once again - but there's no need to wait for the summer sun especially if you have just a few days holiday you need to take from work early this year. Today we were by the beach in Lloret and although it looked very cold as we looked out this morning it was a surprisingly very mild 17ºc walking along the seafront.

The Arrival of the 3 Kings

The arrival of the 3 Kings and his very colourful helpers this evening in Lloret.

Christmas & Reyes in Lloret

Today in Spain is traditionally the day that the children receive their Christmas presents...not from Father Christmas but the 3 Kings! In Lloret at 6pm this evening we can see them arrive by boat then make their way up the beach to the Town Hall. From there they travel to the sports pavillion at the back of town throwing sweets out to the hundreds of spectators who usually line the streets to watch the parade pass by....a very special event for all the kids to see!

Lloret Blog is 10yrs old!

The Lloret Stuff blog has now been online for 10 years, the first post was published by Debbie on 31st Dec 2005.....shortly after that she passed it all over to me....thanks Debbie!!
Since that time there have been thousands of photos published that I have taken in just about every street and corner of Lloret de Mar...as well as some from a few places further afield.
Thanks to everyone who pops by to look at the photos, judging by the stats which I have embedded in the blog I can tell that we are just as popular now as we were at the very start.

So here's to the next few thousand pics and Happy New Year to you all!

Today I have just 2 photos of tonights beautiful sunset....

Merry Christmas from Lloret

Wishing all visitors to the blog a very Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2016, there will be still lots more photos to come during the Christmas holidays......and even more exciting events and places to be seen next year!
