A Day in Barcelona from Lloret de Mar.

One of the most exciting day trips from Lloret de Mar is a visit to Barcelona, there are several ways to get there from Lloret. For example you can book an excursion through one of the tour companies or simply make your own way by bus from the bus station. Some people prefer to take a bus from the bus station to Blanes some 20 mins away, then take the train which travels along the coast all the way to Barcelona, doing the journey this way means you see all the other coastal towns on the way there.

Taking an organised excursion will take you to some of the best sights in Barcelona such as the world famous football ground Camp Nou, Montjuic from where you can look out over the harbour which in its self is a major tourist attraction, they will take you along the streets where you can see the famous Gaudi architecture and also to the fascinating church of the Sagrada de Familia.

Lloret de Mar Weather September.

These 2 photos taken earlier this year show just how packed Lloret de Mar beach gets with hardly a spare place to found. Temperatures during the months of July and the larger part of August were almost unbearable this year reaching the high 30s just about everyday. Things are much different now that we are into September, temps are more comfortable now that they have dropped to the 20s but still feeling very hot if you are laid sunbathing for any length of time. With the breeze which we have had just recently it can quite deceiving just how powerful the sun is, so if you are here on holiday this month dont take any chances, make sure you keep your skin is protected from burning with lots of suncream!

Lloret de Mar Shopping

The shops who had outdoor stalls today must have done well judging by the amount of people who went to the last day of the sales. There were lots of bargains to be found if you just had the patience to look through all the rails of clothes, and rummage through the things which were just piled on the stalls in a heap! The best buys were the last of the summer fashion ranges and accessories such as handbags, belts and jewellery.

Lloret de Mar Shopping

The end of August we see a vast change in Lloret not only with the weather but the shops who were mainly catering for the tourist market start to restock for the winter season to cater more for the locals. Shops which have been holding their summer sales recently also need to clear out the last of their summer ranges, these are mainly the fashion and shoe stores. For just one day only on  Sunday 5th September the stores in the main shopping area 's in Lloret are allowed to set up stalls outside their stores and bring the last of their sales goods out onto the streets in order to sell the last items. Stalls will be also placed around the church and in front of the town hall...be early to catch the best bargains!
