Lloret de Mar in May

 Now that the Formula 1 event is over we now have a much quieter Lloret de Mar...but I'm pleased to say the good weather is still with us....apart from the heavy mist that has come in from the sea on a couple of occasions lasting for about 2hrs or so and then the blue sky is back!

Lloret Formula 1 weekend

This weekends F1 in Lloret brought thousands of visitors to town. For 3 days we saw various events taking place, late night shopping on Friday with the catwalks and live music. Classic cars and racing cars were on show and also if you could take a supervised drive around Lloret in a flashy Ferrari or Lamborghini! 

Places to Visit - Palau Sator

Out in the nearby Catalan countryside there are some beautiful medieval villages that we like to set out to visit and one such place we came across yesterday is one of the best! With a population of only about 300 at the little village of Palau - Sator there is so much to see, for example there are several top class restaurants, museums, beautiful buildings and streets all of which are immaculately kept!

We took more than 100 photos around the village...far too many to post on here but you can see my pick of the best on the Facebook link to the right on this page Further down this page are photos from the restaurant and museum we also visited in the village.

Palau - Sator Museum

For such a small village Palau - Sator has so much to see ! For example this museum shows just how people lived and worked in years gone by from farming, blacksmiths, shoe makers, to wine making and olive oil production. You can see original carts, the tools they used and rooms set out to show what their homes could have looked like..but I suspect that these photos show furnishings from what would have been relatively quite well off hard working families.
