Fun & Games on the beach!

 Lloret beach yesterday is packed with all the sports teams in town just now, hundreds of students are taking part in the events and with this great weather we're having here it looks as though they're all having a fantastic time!

Palm Sunday in Blanes

Just a week to go before the busy Easter holiday period but already the resorts are very busy with holiday makers especially as today is Palm Sunday. Today we spent 3-4 hours in Blanes the next resort down the coast from Lloret where all along the seafront and around the harbour area was filled with families enjoying the warm weekend weather.

Lloret de Mar boat trips

Taking the boat from Lloret de Mar beach is the easiest way to reach other nearby beaches along the coast. Travelling south from Lloret the first beach you will come to is Fenals, a small neighbourhood  with a few hotels, shops, bars and restaurants and a much relaxed atmosphere than Lloret de Mar. The next pull in for the boat is Santa Cristina beach, no shops here but a very nice beach bar and restaurant and if you walk up the sandy pathway you will reach the little church of 'Santa Cristina' alongside of which is  a statue of Santa Cristina herself the the patron saint of the area.

Lloret de Mar Views

 Yesterday I think must have been the warmest day of this year so far, so out we went to take a few photos down near Lloret beach, nothing quite unusual here with these 2 shots but did you ever see the castle looking quite like this.....
