Sandra’s Spanish Holiday tips

Fonclara, Peratallada and Palau Sator

We spent the afternoon driving around the Countryside and checking out a few of the places that had been recommended to us, so that we could plan the rest of our trip.We started off in Fontclara and saw lots of cows and rolling hills with bales of hay, then onto some of the Medieval villages. Palau Sator is very quaint (a small medieval hamlet) and we booked a table for dinner there, as the restaurant looked so lovely.Then we went onto Peratallada.
