L’Estartit
It was quite late (around 11pm), so some of the restaurants in L’Estartit had closed their kitchens when we got there, but there are a few late night places to eat, so we got a pizza, which was very satisfactory and a nice couple of cold beers! (more…)
Peratallada medieval village
Our Costa Brava experience – a rugged, beautiful part of Spain with fabulous food! A Catalonian delight!
We decided to stay in L’Estartit for many reasons – it is a popular, but small resort, that gets booked out every Summer, and it was also a fantastic base for our planned journey around the Costa Brava. We had originally planned it to surprise my Mum and Dad who were staying in Lloret de Mar for two weeks, but it turned out the nicest place in Spain we have been to (bar Lanzarote which we love!).

Andalucia – October/November 2007
We had a wonderful trip touring the delights of Andalucia for two and half weeks in October/November 2007. Call it luck, but we had some fantastic weather and were able to sunbathe on the beaches, sit outside for our meals and enjoy mostly sunshine and warmth.
We got a flight into Malaga, picked up our hire car and headed straight to Marbella for our first few nights at the Fuerte Hotel. (more…)

For photo and details of the restaurants mentioned in this page, please see HERE We managed to get a last minute booking for an apartment which was fine, but outside of the Town Centre (we were newby’s to Barcelona at the time as it was before I marketed properties there), but we got taxis into Town and walked during the day when we had an hour of two to spare on the stroll. Plus, the rail system is very easy to use in Barcelona so we could move around well on the underground as an alternative.
We were so impressed with our first trip to Lanzarote in April, we went back in July for another week – this time a more relaxing week than the last time. We did all our touring and photographing then, so we could now just relax and go back to places and restaurants that we really liked.We stayed in the same villa in Faro Park, Playa Blanca, as we loved it and the pool and Jacuzzi were going to be used more this time!
We decided to stay in Playa Blanca, as we prefer quieter places and good restaurants and Playa Blanca did not disappoint.Playa Blanca is a relatively new resort, and has been designed to suit all tastes. Much quieter than the main resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, it has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous holiday. Just half hour drive from the airport, it lies in the most Southerly tip of Lanzarote. It also benefits from the port from which you can hop over to Fuerteventua, to which you have great views from the Playa Blanca seafront and beyond.
