 Yesterdays Chinese New Year celebrations were a massive success for Lloret as thousands of people came into town and lined the streets to watch the passing parade.

A trip to Pals

Pals is a lovely little medieval town and always worth a visit even through the cold winter months. You will always find some of the little shops and restaurants/cafes open where you can pop in for a hot coffee if it does get a bit too cold as you walk around its  beautiful cobbled streets.

  

 There was lots of snow on the mountains in the distance when we visited just yesterday. (Monday 2nd Feb)

Lloret de Mar weather

 We were expecting a bad storm early this evening, but it didn't turn out to be as bad as it was forecast. It rained for a short while with a few rumbles of thunder in  the distance, these photos were taken from our balcony of the stormy sky. Tomorrows weather is said to be partly sunny with a few scattered clouds and a high of 12c.

Looking over Lloret

Today we have a panoramic view looking out from behind the Guitart Central Hotel, with the hotels grounds in the foreground and in the far distant you can see the urbanisation of Roca Grossa....another beautiful sunny day!
