Cap Roig Platja d'Aro

Day 3, 4

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.

... 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.

Chris & 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’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 we had pizzas (Milly’s was an interesting seafood combination including mussels still in their shells ...

... Chris had arranged accommodation for us at Salt, near Girona airport and somewhat closer to Barcelona, where the plan was to spend the following day. We went into the office and met the Manager, and attempted to explain the situation – he had very little English, (and we had yet to learn any Spanish beyond Hola) and promptly gave us the key for our unit and escorted us to it. The unit was small and quite dark until the shutters were opened, when we were ...

... 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.
We hope you will enjoy, the nature, landscape and monuments from the Alt Empordà - Girona - Spain.

Come and discover them!

... There was a beautiful little cafe which had a great cafe con leche + croissant combo!

The next stop (after another bus nap-had a lot of those this weekend) was Figueres, where we visited the Dali Museum! I had no idea what to expect, which is good because if there's one thing I've learned from traveling it's that any expectations you have will be proven wrong. The museum was a mindtrip. But what's cool is that he was alive when it was built, so ...

We then headed back to town to drop off the car...no real dramas other than v heavy traffic.

We then went on to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral - that was started in late 1800's and only has 25-30 ...

... 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 ...

... 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.
