La Placa de Madremanya Girona

... 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!

... she didn´t get to any of our goods as we have yet to loose or get anything stolen.. KNOCK on WOOD!!!

Last night we arrived in Madrid in the evening... as we make our way to the hostel we have reserved it´s looking more and more like we are walking up an apartment building. Owner opens up and here we are Cat and I sitting in what looks like someones private living room and we can somewhat peak into a dining room/office... and I look at Cat and ...

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!

... I think it helps me to understand my Billy when I see the creative spaces of other artists. The villages around Avignon and Carpentras were charming. Sherry´s life and new friends were inspiring and I´m so happy for her! The fact that it rained five out of the seven days I was there didn´t make a bit of difference. It was French rain, for heaven´s sake, so who cares.

Last Monday, September 21, I ...

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.

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 ...

... 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.

... the lights of electricity wind mills up the French hills...

It was 1 in the morning when we tried to find a parking in Figueres... We drove our RV up the narrow steep streets of Figueres until we decided to go to a resting place outside the city. On our way we stopped at the petrol station and spent the night there. We were not the only ones as ...

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 ...

... Barcelonetta by the Swedish woman we'd been talking to in Vendimia on the first night. She had lived in Barcelona for some time and declared it to be the best. We're not going to divulge its name because we didn't see any other tourists in there, but suffice it to say the place was lively and friendly and the food and drink was excellent. The house red wine was served like proper vodka in thoroughly chilled glasses, which worked much ...

... reaching into the clouds and beyond my understanding. The extremes pull me. The places of nature that just are their elements -- a mountain is earth, the ocean is water -- tug at me like very little else can. I feel the elements in my body pulling me closer to those extreme examples, calling me. Earth my body... So the Pyranees. I wanted to hike through them and I had a very hearty laugh at my silliness. I´m not hiking through anything like that on this trip ...
