Hotel Maria Del Mar 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 ...

... English which forces we tourists to learn a word or two, you&#8217;d be amazed how much of a better trip you will have just by knowing the basics like hello, goodbye, please, thank you, one more beer please, and where is the toilet?<br><br>Next to us was a Spanish family of 4 having some pizza for lunch, I kept overhearing what appeared to be the elder aunt/grandmother asking the little girl if she was feeling ok, apparently she was not. Towards the end of ...

... are really good at building blocks of flats, so there are loads of those around too. I live in a really big house with a Catalan women, her boyfriend and another lodger. It´s about 20 minutes walk from the school. Feels a bit like we´re in the countryside cos you can hear roosters crowing in the morning and there are 2 big alsatians for company in the house. It´s pretty cold here, way colder than madrid (which was high 20s every day ...

... to see for ourselves. <br><br><br>Tossa was just as they had described it &#8211; 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 &#8211; although she had to admit the paella she had ...

... br><br>As if the Dali Museum wasn't cool enough, the next stop was two little villages on the Mediterranean coast called Portlligat and Cadaques. Dali lived in Portlligat and his house has since been turned into a museum, complete with big eggs on the roof (Dali was big on big eggs-they were all over the place at the Dali Museum). We drove up this tiny mountain road (which was interesting in a really big bus...) and as we were going over a hill, the ...

... to completion. Amazing place. Full concrete factory inside the church and spending around 1 million euro per month on construction (but bringing in 50M Euro pa from tourists)<br><br>Sitting on the balcony now having caviar, beer and cheese with my sister and wife....does not get much better than this for our annivesary!!!

... has a patio on the roof with a gorgeous view of the old town. It would be great to hang out but I only have an hour or so before sunset to see the city. Again, I walk along the top of the town wall's fortifications. At sunset, I made it to a great overlook of the 14th-century cathedral. It is supposed to have an amazing interior but I am far too late. I just enjoy the sunset behind the cathedral with the mountains as a backdrop. <br><br>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.

Fortunately, a majority of the Catalan people do speak Castellano spanish and that's what I used. Lots of things were written in Catalan and I tried my best to get what I could out of the Spanish I knew, then the rest seemed like French. The city was dirtier as I had heard but that factor was so miniscule. Each day I was there, I fell in love more and more ...
