Lloret de Mar Today




Several photos from today, showing the boats still working, although not as busy as August still quite a few holiday makers here and making the most of the sun. Also the lifeguard is still on duty watching out, but it looks as though the para sailing and banana boat has finished for the season in Fenals.

Barcelona, a new way to get around !


A new idea for getting around for a spot of sight-seeing has come to Barcelona. Already in the major cities of San Diego, San Francisco and Miami, the little 49cc Gocar is getting rave reviews from all who travel in them!
This bright yellow 3 wheeler has a top speed of 30mph, with no roof and no doors your view is not hindered at all. The talking car gives you directions to all the best sights in Barcelona as you drive along after you have chosen your preferred route.
You are given a quick lesson when you hire the vehicle, the only 'qualifications' needed are - you must be over 21 years of age, with a drivers licence. Helmets must be worn but these are provided free with the rental fee.
The cost for a full day's hire is €99, but it is possible to rent for as little as 1hr, visit the GOCARS website for more details.

Lloret de Mar Events


In Lloret de Mar on the second Sunday of the month there's a small collection of classic cars on show in the square opposite the Xaine Park Hotel, along side the flea market. Today was a good day for the market, the weather was good with just a few clouds about which kept the temperatures down slightly.


Here's a few of the cars on show today, all nicely washed and polished for their day out!

Cheap Flights to Girona.


If you are sick and tired of the rain in the UK this year, it may be a good time to think about trying to catch a bit of sun. You have until midnight tomorrow to get a cheap flight from Ryanair.
The flights are for travel during October and November, and the cost of most journeys are only
£5 each way. This is the total cost with no taxes or any other charges, apart from your insurance or baggage which you have to pay extra for these days. The good weather here in Lloret is expected to last until late in the year owing to all the rain we had at the start of the season.
