Lloret de Mar Views

Recent views of the sky from our balcony during Lloret during the Easter weekend...we have just had a WEBCAM installed so that visitors to the blog and web site can view these live images. The colour maynot be as vibrant as these photos but if your planning a holiday in Lloret you can always keep a check on the weather!

Easter Sunday in Lloret

 Easter Sunday in Lloret and the weather has been fantastic! Its been the busiest day of the year so far, both on the beach and also people out for lunch or just out for a stroll. Also the Historic Costa Brava Rally is taking place next week, so as usual it brings hundreds of people into town.
Some of the cars taking part were on show on the paseo in front of the town hall...

Lloret de Mar Scenes

These recent photos of Lloret showing not the usual bright blue sunny sky but the mist which came in last week from the sea as we were walking on the cliffs in Fenals. When we set out that day the sun was shining, but then this strange mist slowly crept giving the area a really spooky look, especially with the house in the photo below.....Looks like something out of an horror film!

Costa Brava Rally 2012

It looks like its going to be a very busy two weeks in Lloret!

This weekend we saw the Frisbee tournament taking place, which brought teams from all over Europe to Lloret. This coming Easter weekend the hotels will be full of holiday makers here for their spring break, and also all the bars and nightclubs will now be opening daily rather than just for the weekends. We also have the Historic Costa Brava Rally taking place the week after Easter 12-15th April. This event also brings hundreds of people to town, including the drivers, mechanics and followers of the sport.

Just about ready for Summer

Lloret de Mar is just about ready to welcome holidaymakers for the coming Easter holidays. All the boats will be starting their trips up and down the coast as from next week, although the Catamaran Cruise and the Neptune boat have started their trips as from this weekend. The buoys and markers for the boats and parasailing  have been put in place this week (see photos) and the large hole which appeared in front of the beach bar in Fenals as also been filled in and re-tiled!

Lloret de Mar Frisbee Tournament 2012

 On the beach this week end you can see the annual Frisbee tournament starting at 12.30 each day. This event seems to be growing in popularity every year, the beach was full of action yesterday with more teams than ever taking part!

Lloret de Mar's New Summer Season

With just a few days to go before the Easter weekend it now seems the new summer season has officially started. Down on the main hotel/nightclub strip in Lloret is very busy today with holiday coaches arriving and dropping off guest's outside their hotels.This is also the weekend that the bars and clubs etc now reopen for their new season, many with a surprising new look. Good luck to them all, lets hope they all have a successful summer - we have lost too many of the British bars during recent months.

Lloret de Mar - Summer time!

I hope you all remembered to put your clocks forward, as its now officially SUMMERTIME!
In Lloret this morning we have a beautiful sunny day with good weather forecast for the coming week.

Old rules of Lloret!

An old notice from 1954.

We keep hearing that this law will be put into force again but it doesn't seem to happen. One recent law that has been passed is that it's now forbidden to walk around Barcelona in the nude....it was happening on quite a regular basis believe it or not

Lloret de Mar Market Day

Every Tuesday morning is when the local outdoor market is held in Lloret. The market stall holders start trading at about 8-830am and close at 1pm.


Best bargains to be had here are clothing, handbags and typical Spanish souvenirs. The Spanish style dresses and shoes are always a good present to take home for grand daughters and the Barcelona football strips will please any little football fan back at home!

Coach companies run excursions to Lloret de Mar from the other resorts up and down the coast especially to visit this colourful market so it does get very busy during the summer months but its still worth the effort as you'll find some great bargains...Try to get there as early as possible to miss the rush as I do!

Fenals Beach

Work has now begun to repair the unsightly hole in the walkway near Fenals beach. This gaping hole which appeared several weeks ago is said to have been caused by heavy rain from last year which weakened the foundations, the council say that the work should be finished by Easter!

Lloret de Mar - Countryside Scenes

 

Would you believe that these photos are taken only about 15mins walk from the busy nightclub area of Lloret de Mar, and if you are staying in the Fenals area of Lloret during your holiday then you are nearer still to these countryside scenes. Only a few days ago we walked towards the Costa Encantada hotel and apartments and followed the road until we came to the woodland. Here you can see the donkeys and horses in the fields and we also saw an old farmer taking his goats for a walk!
This would be a nice place to bring the kids while on holiday if they ever get fed up of the beach or pool...the donkeys are fenced in so nothing to worry about there, they are friendly and love to come to the fence so you can rub their nose!

Lloret - Whats open in March.

So many people just now now are wanting to know just what is open in Lloret at this time of year. The hotels which have been closed through the winter are now preparing to open for the season. Recently the the popular all inclusive Royal Beach & Royal Star along with several independent hotels have reopened and lots of holidaymakers are here for a few days spring break. Just now many of Llorets bars remain closed but the latest news of British bars which are open can be found on 'Lloret's Booze News'

 

Lloret de Mar Booze News

I did notice yesterday that both the Dream Cafe bars on the main strip are now open, this is a great place to catch all the live Sports, all the games to be screened are listed outside on the boards. To keep upto date with the latest opening dates click on the Booze News picture.

Lloret de Mar Weather Today

Its been a beautiful day in Lloret today, we are still only in the first half of March and the weather is fantastic. Such a vast contrast to the  March of 2 years when Lloret spent almost a week without electricity because the heavy snow brought power lines down!



Now that the hotels are starting to open up again there's quite a few holiday makers in town and the place is looking a bit more lively.  Some which I've seen today have actually had a bit too much sun and are looking quite red!
