Don Juan Tossa Hotel Tossa 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 ...

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 ...

This weekend IES Barcelona went on a huge "study journey" (it's college speak for field trip) to Costa Brava. The map you're seeing only lets me put one location, which is whack because in the course of three days I've been to six different towns. But most of them show up on that map. <br><br>Friday morning came way too soon for my group, which had to meet at Placa Catalunya at 7 45. When I got onto the bus I promptly passed out. And when I woke up, it ...

... 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 ...

... busted into a campsite to enjoy some free entertainment. We danced like fools amongst people on family holidays. After taking it up a peg and getting up on stage the DJ started to play happy birthday!!!! unfortunately no one joined in due to a lack of popularity gained from dancing offensively and clearing the dance floor by smelling really really bad. Although all was good because a group of mums asked olly to take his top off.

... easy ascent. We then coasted down the mountain into spain were we purchased some cheap Spanish stuff.<br><br>Alex went for a two in the woods and stung his backside. Then to make things worse, after we set up camp, we suddenly heard a booming sound. We had set up camp next to a runway by accident. Fools.

... the airport etc. I highly reccommend this hotel if you have kids as the entertainment for them was great. So good in fact that I read 3 books whilst there, normally the kids don't allow me time to breathe! Thanks Club Class Concierge for helping us find such a great hotel and thanks to all the staff at Esmeraldas, especially pool side bartender Miguel - beware of his tequila sunrises!! :)
