Lloret de Mar - Giants Parade

 

 What a great week end of events we've seen in Lloret de Mar this weekend, from Friday until Sunday, it can only be described as carnival time atmosphere! Today Sunday was the busiest day I've seen in Lloret for a long time, even the number of 'giants' this weekend have out numbered the people you could see on the streets of Lloret a few days ago! The beach front was lined by hundreds of spectators watching the giants walking and dancing as they made their way to the carousel square.

The various group of giants had from all over Catalunya to take part in the weekend activities and parading along with the giants were bands of drummers and pipers of all ages...even Morris Dancers accompanied one group!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lloret de Mar - Fira de Americano's

If you are in Lloret this weekend then there are lots of things taking place, here are some photos of what we came across this lunch time.

People taking part in the Fira de Americano's were taking a stroll in the style of dress which would have been worn in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.

Meanwhile on the beach a thick mist came in from the sea and surrounded everyone!
