Aromar Platja d'Aro

... this period of year there are mostly aged people resting there, however I noticed there a lot of clubs near the beaches, so I consider that in summer this town is full of students. The beaches are sandy and what is important all those beaches are public. And one more thing - there are NO PRIVATE BEACHES in Lloret de Mar!

... to see for ourselves.


Tossa was just as they had described it – a lovely beach in a large bay with a castle on the peninsula. The weather was lovely as we explored the town and found a restaurant behind the castle wall to have lunch, where Alison got to taste paella at last. She enjoyed the meal – although she had to admit the paella she had ...

... Alison bought a small leather change purse for €2 to replace her stolen wallet. Then it was back to enjoy the pool at the timeshare. We spent a very relaxing day enjoying each others company, sunbathing in the heat of the day, before heading back to Girona airport with Chris & Milly at night, so that they could catch their flight back to London. Our farewells weren’t too teary, as we knew we would see them again in two weeks, in Auckland.

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 the next day) and then head towards Girona where we were to pick up Chris & Milly who were joining us for the ...

escribo esto tirado en las playas catalanes. A la derecha, la muralla.
A la izquierda, la Minerva. Es la playa principal de Tossa de Mar,

habrá unos 100 metros.
Esta muy bueno acá, hay sol pero no molesta, hace calor pero no
agobiante.
la parte urbana es pequeña pero muy linda, con callejuelas y todo muy
cerca!
desp escribo desde la muralla!

... or stamp our passports, which was sad. The little town we visited in the south of France was also basically perfect. Sun, sea, beautiful little church, good lunch. Words really aren't enough to describe this different kind of reality I encountered on this trip. See pictures below-it was wonderful. And the few French people I met (the waitress....) did not seem to hate me, which is always nice.

Girona was our home base for this weekend, and ...

Last day with our C8 MPV and so Sue plotted out a day on the Costa Brava coast. Her research was spot on and we ended up for breakfast at Tossa de Mar (albeit at 10am). Gorgeous beach and easy parking just beating the rush. By the time we left (after a long swim) beach was packed. Sandy even did as the locals and bared her ...

... tip). I walk to the beach, use a flight bag to cover it, lock it and use a special steel cord that I have to attach it to a parking chain, just below a bridge. Anyone with a sharp knife and intent could steal it. But, it is so large that it would be very obvious. I change clothes at the beach and spend the day walking around.

The highlight is a 12th-century walled town along the hill and the coastline. I walk along the top of the ...

... feel like i am touching the sun. We went back to the campsite bar hoping to further develop our representations. Unfortunately nothing was going on and we soon left. After this we bravely approached a group of girls (of which none of them i was interested in Tiff because you are amazing) on the beach but due to a lack of language skills ...
