Lloret de Mar - Gerry's Bar


The end of October is more or less seen as the end of the season on the Costa Brava.
On Sunday afternoon Gerry's Bar in Lloret had a massive BBQ to celebrate just this!


Tables were laid in the beer garden, where everyone was able to help themselves to large pieces of beef, catalan sausage, chops, various mixed salads bread & wine etc.


These few photos show just a few of the people who were there !
A lot of hard work had gone into preparation of the food etc...which everyone enjoyed.
Thanks to Simon, Yasmin and the lads who did the cooking, we all had a great day!

Cruising the Mediterranean.


The other day while looking out to sea we saw a very unusual cruise ship, not like the normal ships we see sailing the Med....this one had 5 sails on! No one else we spoke to saw the ship so I started looking at various websites and came across a site for the Windstar Windsurf
This ship is currently cruising in the Mediterranean and it seems it was just on its way to Palamos on the day we saw it.

Best Beach

Our local beach here in Fenals has just been voted the best beach from Tarragona up to the French border.
Beaches in Lloret have for many years had the blue flag award, but this vote is extra special.
It is for the cleanliness of the beach, services such as toilets, showers, first aid station, keep fit area which was installed this year.
The old kiosks from which they sold ice-creams and drinks were replaced with wooden ones this year making the whole appearance of this stretch of beach look more natural!

Costa Brava Rally 55...2007

A slide show of some of the cars taking part in this week-ends rally. Also showing cars which were just on show in front of the town hall.

Thought we might have seen Lewis Hamilton taking a walk round the cars this morning....but no! Maybe he has other arrangements this week-end ???????


Costa Brava Rally 55...2007

Its rally week-end here again in Lloret. The Costa Brava Rally takes place every year at this time. Here's a couple of photo's of the cars just having their final check before they start this annual event.

Its ideal weather with no rain forecast, so there should be plenty of people out on the Costa Brava roads to see the cars racing round those hairpin bends !!
