On the Beach in Lloret

 25ºC today and it now looks as though our summer is here.

 The beach has been much busier today than previous days and it really looks as though the holiday season is underway!

Even the Dona Marinera statue had more visitors than normal with standing room only!

Stormy skies over Blanes

 Yesterday we had a trip down to Blanes to get some shots of the dramatic looking skies from the Sant Joan tower, it had been a nice sunny day but it was looking very stormy at times. We could see in the far distance that rain was falling further down the coast and also over the mountains towards the back of the resort which enabled us to get these shots of the stunning cloud formations.

Lloret de Mar sunrise

 Saturday 31st May and we've had a beautiful start to the day this morning, we were out very early this morning to catch the sun as it rose up from behind the hills in the distance. Hopefully the sun will stay with us for the rest of the weekend at least!

Catalunya Villages - Madremanya

While out travelling around the Catalan countryside we recently came across a lovely little village called Madremanya just about 35km from Girona. It wasn't until we looked online at the adjuntament website that we realised that the population is less than 300, that must be why the only person we saw as we walked through its winding streets and stone archways was the post woman.....But what a beautiful privileged location they live in!

Lloret de Mar - Today's photos

 At last the sun has made an early appearance in Lloret today giving holiday makers a chance to get out and enjoy the warm temperatures either by relaxing at one of the seafront lounge bars or lazing about on the beach. Dark clouds are building up over the hills behind Lloret threatening to rain but hopefully the sun will stay with us for the rest of today.
