Bertran Lloret de Mar

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 ...

... meal the little girl began to sneeze repeatedly on her father&#8217;s arm without covering her mouth and neither parent said a word to her about covering her mouth. I guess the message about sneezing into a Kleenex or your sleeve is not beat into the locals like it is for us. I am soooooo thankful for getting my seasonal flu and h1n1 jabs before I left, hopefully I am protected. I have been very good about washing my hands consistently, even using that ...

... and I´m having to wear jumpers and jeans. Tiled floor is freezing in the mornings! My room has a tv and I´ve been trying to practice my spanish by watching spanish tv and films in spanish (you can borrow them from the school). There´s also an intercambio (language exchange) on tuesday at some bar apparently, so might try and see what that´s like if I have time.<br><br>School is pretty good, we´ve been learning loads. Basically, we have ...

At the Hotel Sidormes in Salt Kevin picked up a brochure on a large outlet shopping village situated north of Barcelona. As the wind had not abated in L'Escala, and in light of our previous success with the outlet shopping village in near Glastonbury we decided to head out to discover this village. It was about ¾ hour away, just off the main motorway, and looked very ...

... like waking up in a bus that had driven into the middle of a fairy tale! Besalu is this awesome little town which was designated Spanish national property in 1966. There was a beautiful bridge that was utilized a lot during the middle ages (for a profit of course). When we went over the gorgeous bridge, we visited the church of Sant Pere which was inaugurated in 1003. This place was beautiful! Very much a part of Catalunya, as were all the places we ...

... half - v v v v v v briefly and only to me. I tried to take a photo but only got one of the locals.....oh well<br><br>We then headed back to town to drop off the car...no real dramas other than v heavy traffic.<br><br>We then went on to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral - that was started in late 1800's and only has 25-30 ...

... town is on a hill with windy, narrow streets. It is filled with small cafes. I go to one that has tables just below a monument that is lit. Menu is in Catalan. Some similarity to Spanish but different enough that I only catch a few words. In some places, I have found that on a buildings, they will have both Spanish and Catalan. I think my waiter gives up on me. It is 30 minutes before someone takes my order (not my waiter). No apologies.

... 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 ...

... if the conditions and premises tell you 'Stop! Don't advance! Only a fool would continue!' Yeah, that was me ignoring those conditions. I made it to the beach dry but as soon as I got there thunder cracked, lightening lit up the town and ocean, and rain and hell begun flying like Japanese kamikazees! I had to sprint back to my hotel with my towel-umbrella over my head and all the locals laughing at me from the doorsteps of ...
