Sant Antoni Horse Parade

 The weather was looking very dark and cloudy for the start of yesterdays horse parade, but the rain managed to hold off until later in the day. Just in time the clouds cleared and the sun came out, ensuring that the parade went ahead as planned and everyone once again enjoyed this yearly event

Lloret de Mar events

Tomorrow in Lloret we can see the Sant Antoni Abad horse parade which takes place in Lloret centre. The horses and riders will meet at the Club Hipic at 9am, from there they will then make their way through the streets arriving at the church at approx 11.30 and then onto the Town Hall. 

Once at the town hall they then do their usual parade of 3 times around the paseo giving us all the chance to see the beautiful horses and their skilful riders.

Boadella Beach Lloret

Today we went over to Boadella beach to take a few photos from the cliff tops and also down on the beach. What we didn't realise was just how rough the sea was at times and we took a few pics of these 2 children who were having a great time dodging the big waves as they came in! Their father was close by and I asked him for his email address so I could send him the photos. Thank you to him for allowing us to take the photos!

Great scenery of the coast from the cliff tops!
