Lloret de Mar Fires

While forest fires are still raging in other parts of the world, Lloret de Mar on the other hand has not suffered any serious fires this summer. We did hear about a fire which started on the urbanisation Roca Grossa, but luckily this was quickly dealt with.
At this time Lloret is at a risk level of 1, which is classed as low to medium. However, people should still be on their guard especially as the ground is so dry after the extremely hot, dry summer.
Anyone seeing a fire should report it immediately by calling the emergency services on 112.

The photo above shows one of the planes refilling its tanks with sea water to deal with one of the serious forest fires back in the 90s here in Lloret.

Lloret de Mar Events

In front of the town hall this Friday evening a fashion show is taking place.
Now that the summer clothes are more or less no longer on sale in the local stores you can get a good preview here of the winter fashions and accessories.
Two large screens are to be erected to enable good views of the catwalk. The show will be in two parts, the first of which will be children's fashions commencing at 8.30pm and the adults show will be at 10pm. Should it happen to be raining the event will be postponed until Sunday.
All fashions shown will be available to buy locally as the designs shown are from 11 local stores, such as Stocks, Jeans Saloon, Celio and Xic & Xic. A thousand spectators are expected at this free event.

Fenals Fiesta

This coming weekend in Fenals is the annual fiesta. During this time are various events taking place, such as shows for the kids, Catalan sausage will be dished out for those willing to join the long queue!
But probably the favorite for most will be the fireworks display taking place at 10.30 on Saturday night on Fenals beach.

Lloret de Mar Tourism & Museum

On the sea front just opposite the beach in Lloret is the Maritime Museum and tourist office. Opening times for this time of the year are as follows -

June to September: Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 8 pm
Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm and from 4 pm to 7 pm
Prices for entry to the museum are €4 for adults, there is a reduced price of €2 which I should think will be for children and pensioners.
