Carlemany Girona

Hi everybody! My name is Anna and I was born and I live in Sant Pere Pescador.
Since 2 years, my husband and I, are running one Bed and Breakfast called Mas del Joncar.
We love to travel and when we go abroad we like to discover the culture and costums from every place we visit.
Our area has a lot of interesting places to be ...

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,
medirá aproximadamente 200 metros de extencion y de la calle al 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!

... je me raccroche au seul espace qu’il me reste : l’appart de Barcelone, ma bibliothèque et tous les souvenirs ramenés d’un peu partout, les affiches, les bibelots, la surdécoration et le bordel né de la vie.

Mais bon l’idée fait son chemin d’un espace à soi, pour de bon, quelque chose qu’on ne perdra pas, où on pourra mettre les livres et les affiches, tout ce qu’on aura mis dans les cartons A GARDER. Et redémarrer.

We made it! 1327 km in ONE day! And we started late... Must say that I got fed up with Italian highway at Genoa and arriving in France was a real relief...

Driving through France was fun. We saw a space ship in a distance - some strange lights up in the sky, blinking at us at an oval shape... After doing some hard thinking we figured out they ...

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 ...

... 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.

Sleeping on the sand fully clothed was a new one for us and were forced to wake up by the sun rise. As the sun got higher in the sky we seemed to get more and more lazy until we just decided to stay another night. I´m 22 and still havent managed to learn the sun tan lotion lesson. As a result I now look like the inside of a water melon ...

... soin de réserver le repas du midi dans "une des meilleures tables d'Espagne", El Celler de Can Roca. Le guide de voyage mentionnait que c'était très difficile de réserver une table à ce resto. Nous étions très heureux d'avoir pu le faire, à 24 hres d'avis. C'est le bonheur des voyageurs hors saison. (J'en profite pour mentionner qu'il n'y a aucune file d'attente, aucune cohue, aucun encombrement partout où l'on va. Ça vaut bien le temps ...

... or less friendly but we actually paid the location! The hotel is right in town on Nou street near The Onyar river and 5 minutes walks' from the Jewish quarter. I would give it 7/10 for a overall score. Girona is a medieval city with a lovely Jewish quarter, its cathedral that dominates the city, the colourful houses along the Onyar river with its concrete bridges, its great restaurants in Plaça Independencia where you ...
