Hostal Sa Tuna Begur

... 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 ...

... by sangria which was followed by port. A very satisfying meal after a long day.

The following day loomed bright and beautiful. Milly had been regaling us with stories of hot chocolate and churros so we went in search of them – to no avail, but we did find that overnight a huge market had set up along the waterfront in L’Escala. There were plenty of bargains here, and it attracted a lot of customers from across the border in ...

... 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 ...

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

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!

... quickly..como un sueño.

I left Paris on September 14 on a train to Avignon. As I was entering my car on the train, there was a little commotion with a man trying to find space for his luggage. I quickly realized this was Peter Asai and his wife, Karen (friends from my previous life in Eugene) who I hadn´t seen in many, many years. Life is funny and sweet and....como un sueño! My friend, Sherry, who ...

... to be of that mindset, if I'm even allowed to have an opinion being an American) Anyway that's the very brief history of Catalunya as a part of Spain and France. Catalan is spoken and written everywhere here (and every place we visited this weekend). It's a beautiful language, a mixture of spanish and french, but it's own unique entity as well. I wish I could understand it-that would make maneuvering Barcelona a lot smoother.
