Maria, Maria, Maria! The Best Guide in Girona!
... have a local showing you around! With a predominant Catalán culture seen everywhere through flags, language and flyers, this small river bound city is a breath of fresh air nestled on the frontier of the Pyrenees in comparison with the big metropolitan centre of Barcelona.
I was fortunate to have Maria meet me at the Girona Train Station where shortly after we enjoyed the most incredible Patata Bravas and some Bocadillos at one of her favourite restaurants "König". Then ...
Spain and Dali Museum (Tim)
... to keep the children amused. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was spent there followed by a trip into Figuere itself which is otherwise unremarkable. A very nice cake on the way back to the van provided an amusing moment. so far we have managed to get by with my O-level franglais however my spanish is limited to Hola, por favor, adios, Gracie's and cerveza - which is better than the rest of the ...
The Further North You Go, the Stranger it Gets
... to paitings to seashell bathtubs. I will say some of the highlights were seeing the original Dalí Lincoln mural (for those of you who haven't been to our home we have a rather large signed print of this painting), Dalí's paintings of the holocoust, and a swimming pool in the shape of a penis.

Calonge to I'Estratit to Cadaques to Berger
... were on worse roads again, very narrow and snaking. Much better journey done at 5 to 7 o'clock in the evening mind. The roads linking Catalonia to Barcelona are fantastic it's the roads across Catalonia which aren't great as they have the Pyrannese to contend with. We arrived at our sight at 8.15 after taking a wrong turn and having to go up the mountain to turn round. The 2 and a half hour journey ended up being a 4 hour trek.... What doesn't break you makes you ...
Barcelona to Calogne
... it wasn't that busy. Leaving Tossa de Mar we drove to 6 different campsites, the one we are at now (due to leave in a minute) was the only one open! Camping International de Calogne is a huge site, very well kept with the best showers I have ever been in. Hopefully this is what to expect at all sites we visit. Today we are travelling the coastline to Le'Startit. My camera is coming out so more photos next ...
