Lloret de Mar Carnival 2013

 Its carnival weekend in Lloret and in the town there's a great party atmosphere as almost every other person is walking around dressed in some sort of fancy dress outfit! This is the most colorful event in the Lloret de Mar annual calendar, with everyone joining in the fun! We were there to take these photos of Saturdays parade when the procession made their way along the seafront at 4pm. It was a glorious sunny day but by the time the parade had finished 2 hours later it was feeling very cold, and with some of the competitors only dressed in flimsy outfits I did feel quite sorry for them....so well done to all those who still managed to entertain everyone and keep smiling till the very end!

For lots more colourful carnival photos and videos take a look at the Lloret de Mar Carnival web page.

Lloret de Mar Weather

Well I must say that after the strong winds of yesterday things are very much calmer today! Although we had beautiful blue skies there was a cold northerly wind blowing which has caused a few trees to fall and also damage has been caused to a few bikes which have been blown over.

Lloret Tonight

Here is something a bit out of the ordinary for today and we have two black & white photos of how the sky was over Fenals this evening  

 and here's how it should look!

Lloret de Mar Carnival 2013

It's almost time for one of the best weekends in the Lloret de Mar events calendar and thats the Carnival parades which will be taking place on Saturday 9th - Sunday 10th February. Fingers crossed that this fantastic weather we are getting just now stays with us until both parades are over!
