An occasional music spot - remembering places around the World



Another place memory that features a bar on the Costa Brava in Spain. 
The story begins in 1972 when a crowd of us went to Lloret de mar for a two-week holiday at the end of August. In 1975 we were back again and discovered this bar midway between the two main beach areas. It was a hike along a sea cliff path but never busy mid-afternoon, so much so we often had the deck to ourselves and would refer to 'Cala Banys' as 'The Club'. A perfect spot to drink and listen to the music they played, often at our request, in such surroundings.  
This Moody Blues track will always remind me of those times. 'New Horizons' [out to sea] >


From the album 'Seventh Sojourn' which was actually released in 1972, a few months after our very first Lloret holiday.

Suntan and San Miguels (same again) at our club 'Cala Banys' - 1975
