... 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!

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 ...

... by sangria which was followed by port. A very satisfying meal after a long day.<br><br>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 &#8211; to no avail, but we did find that overnight a huge market had set up along the waterfront in L&#8217;Escala. There were plenty of bargains here, and it attracted a lot of customers from across the border in ...

... with the amazing view of the swimming pool only a few metres from the French doors of the unit with the sea only a little way beyond that. Stunning!<br><br>We decided to reorganize our luggage and pack only enough for the night away and leave the remainder in the room so there would be more room for Chris &amp; Milly&#8217;s bags in the car. Things couldn&#8217;t have worked out better! It looked like our stay in L&#8217;Escala would be a real relaxing break.

... Baeleric sunshine. It was pretty much perfect. Our hotel (and my bed there) was amazing!<br><br>The next morning we went to La Jonquera and visited a museum dedicated to the exiles of the Spanish Civil War. It was very interesting, but everything was only in Catalan, which made for a limited educational experience. Then we got back on the bus, and before I knew it there were signs flashing by that said France!! (minus the exclamation marks) They didn't ...

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 ...

They have a wall that surrounds the city, so that you can walk all around it like the ...
