October weather Lloret de Mar.

The summer weather in Lloret has been fantastic this year with temperatures reaching the high 30s for most days and even reaching 40c at times! Now that we are into October the weather is still very good and the holidaymakers are still able to do a spot of sunbathing for a few hours each day. Just recently though we are getting a touch of stormy weather and last night (14/15th Oct) we were kept awake by the heavy rain and strong winds. This afternoon though we have a completely different day....the sea is still very rough but we now have temperatures in the mid 20s and the sun is shining once again! 

This is a video taken on the beaches of Lloret and Fenals this morning following the stormy night.  

A trip to Tavertet - Catalunya

After another trip to Tavertet high in the cloud covered mountains I have created a lovely short video to show you around the lovely village and stunning views of the surrounding countryside and mountains!

Talk about living on the edge!

Santa Clotilde gardens

For something a little different to do while in Lloret de Mar try a visit to the beautiful gardens of Santa Clotilde! If staying in Lloret then you can easily catch the L11 at the bus station or if you are staying in the Fenals area then you are within walking distance.. ask at your hotel recpeption for directions.

Celra Flea Market, near Girona.

We have discovered a large collectors & flea market near the town of Celra, maybe worth a visit for our local people. Its open every Saturday 8am-2pm all year so will be somewhere a little bit different to visit in the winter. There is ample parking, lots of stalls...some worth a look at and some not! There is also a cafe/restaurant open for a drink and bite to eat.
