Lloret de Mar Market Day

Every Tuesday morning is when the local outdoor market is held in Lloret. The market stall holders start trading at about 8-830am and close at 1pm.


Best bargains to be had here are clothing, handbags and typical Spanish souvenirs. The Spanish style dresses and shoes are always a good present to take home for grand daughters and the Barcelona football strips will please any little football fan back at home!

Coach companies run excursions to Lloret de Mar from the other resorts up and down the coast especially to visit this colourful market so it does get very busy during the summer months but its still worth the effort as you'll find some great bargains...Try to get there as early as possible to miss the rush as I do!

Fenals Beach

Work has now begun to repair the unsightly hole in the walkway near Fenals beach. This gaping hole which appeared several weeks ago is said to have been caused by heavy rain from last year which weakened the foundations, the council say that the work should be finished by Easter!

Lloret de Mar - Countryside Scenes

 

Would you believe that these photos are taken only about 15mins walk from the busy nightclub area of Lloret de Mar, and if you are staying in the Fenals area of Lloret during your holiday then you are nearer still to these countryside scenes. Only a few days ago we walked towards the Costa Encantada hotel and apartments and followed the road until we came to the woodland. Here you can see the donkeys and horses in the fields and we also saw an old farmer taking his goats for a walk!
This would be a nice place to bring the kids while on holiday if they ever get fed up of the beach or pool...the donkeys are fenced in so nothing to worry about there, they are friendly and love to come to the fence so you can rub their nose!
