A day In Caldes de Malavella

 Only 20 minutes or so drive from Lloret is a nice little town which is famous for its water, just about every bottle of water with gas (agua con gas) which you buy from the bars, cafes and restaurants in this area would come from the Caldes area. The most famous one goes under the brand of Vichy Catalan, other brands from Caldes are Agua Malavella and Sant Narciso, each brand has their own unique taste....my favorite is the Vichy brand. Their very grand restaurant/hotel are set in beautiful grounds...see the first 2 photos here. 

Summer is just around the corner!

 Slowly but surely the resort is starting to come to live after the winter, today we can see that some businesses have already opened while many are doing a bit of painting, decorating and maintenance in preparation for the new season. Most will be open in time for Easter at the end of  March.

 Fenals today.

A change in the weather!

Well! after a very mild and dry winter we have had rain at last...but it is still quite mild. The sea has also been very rough today and again its taken much of the sand away from the beach, and the streets are deserted owing to this very damp and dismal weather!

Lloret de Carnival parade 2016

Thousands of people lined the streets to watch Saturdays carnival parade this year....and as usual we were there to photograph the floats and those taking part in their colourful costumes. Here are a few of our best shots....
