A walk along the beaches

Out and about in Lloret and Fenals.

Fenals Beach
Lloret's two largest beaches Lloret and Fenals are linked by a very nice although quite hilly walk along the cliff tops and woodland. To start your walk in Lloret simply make your way to the bronze statue of the Dona Marinera and follow the rocky pathways and stairs. Passing on the way Bar Cala Banys and the tall Sant Juan tower, from there you will see a long flight of stairs which will take you all the way down to the picturesque beach of  Fenals.

If after this trek you can always catch the 'L2' bus back to Lloret de Mar if you feel you have done enough walking for one day!

Lloret de Mar Holidays



We have just had the official start of summer here in Spain with the San Juan  festival, cities and towns all over Spain celebrate this fiesta with a noisy night of bonfires, fireworks music and dance which goes on until the early hours of the morning!


Now that the festivities are over we have a much calmer holiday atmosphere.....the beaches are quite busy as today is a holiday and everyone seems to have taken to the sea! The resort boats, parasailing  and catamaran cruise are having a busy day and those who are lucky enough to have their own boats are making the most of the good weather. 

Far out in the distance is a ship from the Wind Star cruise company sailing the 'Med'

Death of Craig Mallon Lloret de Mar

I've been asked to put an update on the blog about the recent appeal for information regarding the sad death of Craig back in March 2012. An appeal letter has now been sent out to every hotel in Lloret asking for their management to forward it to every guest who were staying at their hotels during the weekend of 18-20th May 2012.

Below is a letter from Craig's mum to thank everyone for their support and help....

MESSAGE FROM CRAIG’S MUM ANTOINETTE
“Thanks for all your support, lovely comments and interest in our family appeal which has reached 425,000 people all over the world."
"Out of the hundreds of people who were in Rockefellers where Craig was before he was killed we have only had 7 girls coming forward. These girls from Scotland left at 5am and did not witness the incident however they have helped ...piece together some background and I am delighted with that. “
“We need more people like that to come forward with background or any information. Please think carefully about the night Craig was killed, if you were in Rockefellers Nightclub or the area where the fatal assault happened please contact our dedicated e mail address info@craigmallon.com
