Lloret de Mar late night Shopping

A new event is planned for tomorrow night (Fri 21st Sept) in the centre of Lloret, this is the first of the 'Lloret Night Shopping' and  there seems to be quite a bit of interest by what I have been hearing so far. Apart from the stores which will be open until after 12 midnight it seems lots of other activities will be happening in and around the shopping streets. Live music, a fashion show and a glasses of champagne will be given out for those walking through the town. It should be a great fiesta atmosphere and bring quite a lot of trade to the local stores. One of the shops 'Celio' the mens fashion store in San Pedro are urgently asking for 2 male models to take part...any of you local lads out there need a bit of work!

A trip to Montserrat


 Montserrat is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year, they all have their own reason for coming to the monastery, some for spiritual reasons, some to listen to the world famous boys choir, some people come for the hiking opportunities around the mountain tracks, and also mountain climbers who like the challenging climbs of the sheer mountain sides. 
Whatever your reason its a trip you will remember for the rest of your life...the scenery is stunning!
 The trip up the mountain can be done in 2 stages by the funicular railway.
Visit the Montserrat website to find detail of how to get there and all about the history etc of the Monastery.

Lloret de Mar Shopping

 I was up and about quite early this morning so I went to see what was on offer in Lloret at the last day of the sales. Some of the best bargains were at the better shops such as Juanola, Benetton and Mango, with the other stores selling just about everything you could think of...bags, shoes, toiletries, perfumes and even bathroom accessories!
Stalls near the church
All that glitters is only €2 !!
