A stroll along the seafront!

 Here are a few recent pics taken along the seafront in Lloret...

In the first picture you can see the yellow L2 bus, a very handy service if you need to travel between Lloret de Mar and Fenals and you dont fancy the walk! At present the fare is €1.35.
In the second picture are the kiosks where to book your boat trips to other beaches and resorts such as Tossa de Mar, Blanes, and Calella.



 Here we have part of the nightlife area which comes to life late at night and closes as the day breaks!


 To get away from the heat of the sun you can take a stroll through the older streets towards the back of town....some are lined with colourful trees giving lots of shade.

Fira dels Americano's

 Lloret stepped back in time over the weekend to the days of the Americano's with exhibitions, craft stalls, music, guided tours, and also a look at how they dressed in those early years.

Americanos Fira 2015

Starting today Friday 12th and going on until Sunday 14th June is the 5th edition of the Americanos event when we see how people from Lloret de Mar traveled to Cuba and the West Indies to earn their fortunes. Many of them did and on their return to Lloret built the large buildings and homes we can still see today on the seafront and in the older streets in the centre of town.
