Aparthotel Comtat Sant Jordi Platja d'Aro

Day 3, 4<br><br>Day 3 I wasn't traveling at all, I was busy working, However on the forth day I managed to go to a town not far from Barcelona called Lloret de Mar. It is a new town located just near the seashore, with wonderful forests at the same time. There are a lot of hotels there for every type of traveler. <br><br ...

... and very promising until we got out of the car and explored. The village is obviously quite new, and rents must be high, as the prices were high too! How disappointing. We returned to the car with time on our hands and made a decision to visit Tossa De Mar.<br><br>Chris &amp; Milly had stayed at Tossa on a previous visit to Spain and raved about it, so we set ...

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&#8217;Escala has a lot of shops, many only open during the high season &#8211; however there seemed to be quite a few restaurants so we headed to one on the waterfront where we had pizzas (Milly&#8217;s was an interesting seafood combination including mussels still in their shells ...

The timeshare (Port de Rei) is situated a short distance out of the town of L'Escala. We drove through town following Dora&#8217;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 the next day) and then head towards Girona where we were to pick up Chris &amp; Milly who were joining us for the ...

... and also you can do a lot of activities. So we thought that we could speak about our surroundings that we know very well and perhaps that can help the people who wants to visit our region.<br>We hope you will enjoy, the nature, landscape and monuments from the Alt Empordà - Girona - Spain.<br><br>Come and discover them!<br><br>

Es la playa principal de Tossa de Mar, <br>medirá aproximadamente 200 metros de extencion y de la calle al mar <br>habrá unos 100 metros.<br>Esta muy bueno acá, hay sol pero no molesta, hace calor pero no <br>agobiante.<br>la parte urbana es pequeña pero muy linda, con callejuelas y todo muy <br>cerca!<br>desp escribo desde la muralla!

... to be of that mindset, if I'm even allowed to have an opinion being an American) Anyway that's the very brief history of Catalunya as a part of Spain and France. Catalan is spoken and written everywhere here (and every place we visited this weekend). It's a beautiful language, a mixture of spanish and french, but it's own unique entity as well. I wish I could understand it-that would make maneuvering Barcelona a lot smoother. <br>Anyway Besalu was ...

... to completion. Amazing place. Full concrete factory inside the church and spending around 1 million euro per month on construction (but bringing in 50M Euro pa from tourists)<br><br>Sitting on the balcony now having caviar, beer and cheese with my sister and wife....does not get much better than this for our annivesary!!!

... which goes most of the way around the old town. At the top, I stop at the snack shop for a beer and eat the picnic I had prepared. Very relaxing watching the boats go by. I look at the bridge from afar when I can to see if my bag is still there. I pick it up at the end of the day. No problems. <br><br>Girona is another town with castle walls. I get there late in the day so all sites are closed. The hostel has only been open a few weeks ...

... with looks and personality) it failed. We tried our luck with the next group of people who happened to be all boys. Finally we had some friends. We united this group of boys with the group of girls we attempted to meet and made a super party with alcohol, shesha, sunset. However, the party was short lived because the girls were ugly.
