Lloret de Mar free computer lessons.

It seems that someone in the Town Hall in Lloret has come up with a brilliant idea to give free computer lessons to local business owners or their employees to enable them to get their businesses online. Maybe the people who do the official tourist websites in Lloret ought take up the offer, as I often come across stuff on the sites which is so out of date and out of touch with what holiday makers really want to know. They certainly dont want to read about it in Catalan which is just about the only language the leaflets in the tourist offices are printed in! What so often happens in this town is that what could have been a very good and interesting event is over and done with before anyone in town knew anything about it....so not only do the businesses need more publicity but whatever is happening in town needs to be publicised more.
Back to the free computer lessons - 23 people from the whole of Lloret took up the offer of the first lesson, (maybe no-one knew about it?) the next one will be held this Tuesday 18th Jan in the newly restored building Can Zaragoza (see photo) up on the main road in Lloret not far from the Casino.

Lloret de Mar Shopping

As in most European towns and cities the winter sales have now started in Lloret de Mar. Some stores are offering great bargains in some cases with as much as 70% discount. The sales will continue until March 6th, after which I think we will see the usual street sale where all the shops are allowed to bring the last of their sale goods out onto stalls in the street for one last day of the sale.
Traders in Lloret have seen a large decline in trade during the days leading upto Xmas so are hoping that the next few weeks the shoppers will begin to spend a few more euros.
