Lloret de Mar beach.

A colourful photo of Lloret's main beach taken last Sunday, showing plenty of sunbathers just lazing about in the hot sun.

Some even daring to venture into the sea, which is still quite cool at this time of the year.

Costa Brava Holidays

Here on the Costa Brava, Lloret de Mar is now in full swing.

The weather is very good,with sunshine everyday (all but one rainy day) for the last 3 weeks.

The roads in and out of town are very busy with the coach companys ferrying holiday makers back and forward from other parts of Europe and also the airports.

All shops and bars in town seem to be doing a roaring trade along with the water sports amenities on the beach.

Costa Brava Weather.

The weather here this week has been very good. Temperatures have been in the low-mid 20s, ideal for a day on the beach. Rain was forecast, but up to now we have not had any for quite a few weeks.
There has been a strong but warm breeze, for most days this week, which has made the sea quite rough. This has meant that the resort boats and parasailing have not run everyday as they normally do.

But at least with the brilliant sunshine the holiday makers will be going home with a nice suntan!

Litre Bars in Lloret

Lt Bar in the Avenida Just Marles

If you find you are continually up and down fetching drinks during your stay in Lloret de Mar you may wish to cosider a bar that sells drinks by the litre. These drinks are typically sold in plastic beakers which hold a full litre. You are then free to take the drinks out or drink them inside. You can buy litres of beer, sangria, vodka redbull, rum coke, tequila sunrise- and loads more- it generally works out much much cheaper than the traditional measures.

I know of three bars that sell Litre drinks- the LT bar in the Avenida Just Marles, the Torito Pinchito next to the Londoner and the Bar Barretina in the Calle Arenys.
