Llorets Fireworks 2015

 Lloret beach and the surrounding area was packed with spectators for the annual fireworks display last night. A great event enjoyed by thousands of people!

Lloret de Mar Carrefoc event

Thousands of people filled the streets around the town hall last night to see this years 'Carrefoc' - an exciting event which is held every year as part of the Santa Cristina Festival. Everyone gathered at the town hall at 10pm where drummers played before the fireworks started.

 Not to be confused with the popular organised fireworks display we see on Lloret beach every year - this does look to be quite an unruly event where those taking part run along the streets letting off fireworks just above the crowds heads....but a lot of thought does seem to have gone into the event to make it as safe as possible. On seeing the photos you wouldn't think that it is well organised with fire safety personnel and vehicles following them all the way, although I'm sure accidents must have happened in the past. Those taking part are advised to wear jackets, hoods, full length trousers and full shoes.....some are dressed as  Devils and other spooky and scary characters!

Hot summer nights in Lloret!

 With recent daytime temperatures in the high 30s, the streets of Lloret during the evenings are almost bursting at the seams with everyone enjoying the cooler temperatures! These photos taken just last night 19th July between the hour of 8.30pm and 11pm show how busy Lloret is just now...it was a slow start to the season but Lloret de Mar has that familiar buzz about town once again!
