Merry Christmas from Lloret de Mar

A special Xmas video filmed out on the streets of Lloret on the evening of 21-12-18 to wish all followers of the blog a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Tirada l'Art, Lloret de Mar 2018

This morning I had a very early start (7.30 in fact!) to the day to go over to Lloret to take photos of the Tirada L'Art which is an old tradition of fishing which takes place on Lloret beach 2-3 times a year. Today the weather was great and not as cold as previous years. Once the nets have been pulled into the beach its always hoped that there are plenty of fish to serve for breakfast to reward those who have done all the hard work! I'm glad to say this morning there was lots to share and it was served with 'pan con tomate' and lots of wine!

Cadaques, Costa Brava

One of the most beautiful coastal towns of the Costa brava is Cadaques. To reach this little white washed destination though is only by car driving the difficult coastal road which winds around the cliffs and mountains....but I'm sure you will think its well worth the effort once you arrive! 

We paid Cadaques a visit just yesterday and as its now December it was very quiet as we expected, I can imagine it gets really busy with tourists in the summer months but we do prefer these places to be fairly quiet in order to get the best photos. 

This is my video, I hope you enjoy this short visit!

Begur castle, Sa Tuna & Tamariu.

We took a short drive up the coast yesterday to the area around Begur, first visiting the the castle of Begur which looks out all over the coast and also the countryside and mountains beyond. At this time of year the mountains are covered in snow which is always a great site to see, especially when we can still get very mild temperatures of between 15-20c on the coast!

This short video shows the amazing views we captured.

Lloret de Mar November weather.

Well after a few terrible wet and windy days Lloret today was much better, we actually had some sun and quite warm tempertures! Some parts of Spain however have had far worse weather than us with roads and streets flooded, thankfully we didnt get it so bad here on the coast. This is a video which shows the beach as it is today after the storm!
