Holiday in Spain Promotions!

Spain is to set up promotional campaigns in Britain to try boost tourism for this year. The reason behind this is the 22% drop in bookings from the UK market during the first 3 months of this year

''A Taste of Spain'' promotions are to be held in open air festivals in large cities such as London and Edinburgh. These will include all things which we associate with Spain, such as Flamenco Dancers, Spanish horses will be performing and giant paellas will be on the festival menus!

Santa Clotilde Gardens

Despite the bad weather which we had in April, its estimated that the figures for visitors to Santa Clotilde Gardens were well up on last year.

More than 11,000 people have visited the gardens, 4,000 more than the same period last year! All together the total for the first 4 months was 23,000. The most likely reason is that the El Punt newspaper have a scheme which allows their readers free entry to the gardens and Museo del Mar.

Lloret de Mar Boats

All the boats taking holiday makers up and down the coast to the other resorts are now back for the summer season. The most popular seems to be the larger and more powerful Dofi Jet as seen in the top photo. At this time of year you can travel as far as Tossa de Mar up the coast or Blanes further to the south. As the town gets busier then the boats will be sailing to other resorts further up and down the coast.
