Fire in Lloret/Fenals

A fire broke out in woodland yesterday at about 6pm in an area of Fenals near the Hotel Gran Garbi and many residential properties. From our balcony we could clearly see just how rapid it was spreading, luckily the local fire station is only minutes away and we could hear the sirens of the fire engines quickly approaching. Four engines attended the blaze and soon had it under control, they left later that evening after putting the fire out and damping down the area.

Well done to them, as this could have been such a different story!

As yet there is no idea of the cause, but this summer the ground is very very dry and the least little spark could easily turn into an awful disaster. People are warned to take care when having picnics or walking in the counrtyside etc to take all their rubbish away with them and also be careful when smoking....do not throw cigarette ends to the floor discard of them in a responsible way, and certainly don't throw them out of the car window!

The photos here show just how close the fire was from peoples homes!

Pirates invading the beach of Lloret de Mar yesterday!

What a fantastic day everyone had with the pirates...they sailed into Lloret on a boat accompanied by their band of drummers. The costumes and make-up were brilliant and I'm sure the kids loved to see them...just as much as we did!
