Lloret de Mar in August

Here we have a selection of photos taken yesterday 11th Aug showing the beach of Lloret. It shows just a typical holiday resort with people just lazing about about enjoying their holiday in the sun. 

 Just recently there has been some unrest in the town at night, as far as I'm aware caused by a minority of the younger generation who had been turned away from Colossus Disco after they had bought tickets but then turned away after the DJ had refused to play after the air conditioning and broke down.

 

So with this it seems they then thought it gave them the right to start causing havoc out on the streets not only for one night but for just about every night since. This week end there will be more police out and about to curb any trouble makers who just come into town at week end simply to cause trouble!

 

One thing I am pleased about is that this time its not the British who are getting the blame as they usually do!

 

Below you can see a video of the disturbances as it was reported on TV.

The Exploding Boys in Lloret

The Cure tribute band 'The Exploding Boys' were in action in Lloret de Mar last night (Fri 5th Aug) for the 3rd event of this years Clon Festival. Not sure what to expect from this band we took our place in front of the stage at 10pm. They then 'exploded' on to the stage at 10.20pm, where they entertained and amused everyone in the crowd until well after the midnight deadline, true professionals!

Those of you who are in the UK may not get a chance to see the Exploding Boys as they are from Madrid, but if you do ever get a chance to catch them live then it really is a must...one of the best we have had for the Clon Festival, we would definatley go to see them again!

I have lots more photos and videos from last night  HERE and the 'Boys' have their own MySpace page with lots of live videos and photos.

Thanks to them for a great night, and the Facebook friend request....its a privilege!
