Hotel Port Canigo Roses

¡Hola a todos!

Sorry for the delay in updates! I've been so busy during the past couple weeks, but here's my much anticipated update from sunny Spain:

Gastronomía:
I've definitely developed an addiction to Spanish coffee (café con leche) and chorizo. The coffee habit is part of the traditional Spanish breakfast among unive...

Good morning!

Nestled between olive tree country and the Pyrenees foothils, Figueres is a gem of a city where Salvador Dali was born and commissioned/designed his own museum/theater there. Previously, the Dali site was a simple theater. When it burned down, Dali convinced the mayor to support his idea to design and reconstruct the theater into a mausoleum to ...

Mid afternoon we arrived into Collioure just north of the Spanish border. It was a little port town with a fort and palace and Kim feel in love immediately. We parked up at the fort and made our way down to the old town where little cafes lined the harbor. The afternoon sun was divine so we went sat on the beach and dipped our feet in. As the su...

When we returned to L'Escala after a day in Barcelona, we went in search of a restaurant for dinner (it was only 10.30 after all and diners were just arriving). Although L’Escala has a lot of shops, many only open during the high season – however there seemed to be quite a few restaurants so we headed to one on the waterfront where w...

The timeshare (Port de Rei) is situated a short distance out of the town of L'Escala. We drove through town following Dora’s directions, but were not too sure where we were headed, eventually ending up outside a large building built on a rugged coast overlooking the Mediterranean. Our plan was to inform the manager of our late arrival (on ...

Amid the marshy zone where the Ter flows into the sea, is the medieval village of Pals. The old quarter, known as El Pedro, contains many historic buildings: walls with towers, an old castle or Torre de les Hores, a Gothic church, and a monumental cross commanding a fine panorama.



As well as views of the coastline and m...

Another lovely evening on Roses beach, avec some amazo food... The next day, exploring beaches in and around Roses, and a few dinky little bays. Then driving over the Pyrenees to La France.

On our last day in Barcelona we struggled to get up after quite a big night. On a mission for breakfast, it took us a whole hour to find somewhere open let alone cooking eggs (cook the man some eggs!). After that we were off to Les Ramblas and the city market, oh such lovely fresh produce, I could have spent all day roaming about. What a fabulou...

Today, we planned on getting up early around 7:00a, having breakfast, and touring the city. Instead, we woke up at 10a. My parents went to breakfast and I went to the gym. We got out of the hotel room at about noon. We did, however, manage to squeeze in two key sites, the Barbera Apartments and the Cathedral by Gaudi. Both are really spectacular...
