Day 138 - 27/01/2014 : Bonaigua Hotel view

Some years ago, we decided to enjoy the Catalan summer. We had been turning around mountain shires of Catalonia but until then we didn't realized how much fantastic the seaside was.

We started to look for beautiful beaches and we found among the best were in Empordà shire's, then it was the destination.

One of our first Empordà accommodations was Bonaigua Hotel, in Fornells, one of the coves of the best known town of Begur.

During the next days we'll look into Begur and their beaches, take a seat !

Day 137 - 26/01/2014 : L'Estartit beach with Medes Islands opposite

L'Estartit is a town from the Baix Empordà shire and belonging to the main town Torroella de Montgrí. We could say L'Estatit is the beach town of Torroella but i think people from L'Estarit would be angry reading these words.

Anuway, it's a very beautiful town, with a large and clean beach where we can see the best front views from Medes islands, a really sea paradise. If you rent a hammock you should rest all the day looking into the sky and count the number of little boats coming to the islands.

Really, a beach to taste at least one time !

Day 136 - 25/01/2014 : Fireworks in Vilassar de Mar

Undoubtedly, the best season to celebrate the biggest town festival is on summer. Here in Catalonia these days are called 'Festa Major' and talking about Vilassar there is a special day, the 24th of june, when the witches have met the night before in a magical ceremony around the fire.

'Festa Major' in Vilassar is closed with a fantastic firework event which can be seen over all the shire !!!
We usually climb to our terrace and see them quietly with a cold beer in our hand, anyone know a best way to see off our 'Festa Major'?

Fireworks !!!!

Day 135 - 24/01/2014 : Full moon in Vilassar de Mar

Vilassar is neither Calella de Palafrugell nor Tossa nor Begur... but this town are giving the life we had ever dreams.

A comfortable life, watching the sea and the mountains every day and giving us the possibility to have romantic nights in our terrace such as we had a few summers ago.

In a full moon night we climbed to the terrace and stayed seeing it quietly, looking for the stars in the sky. Is there anything better?

Vilassar style of life.

Day 134 - 23/01/2014 : Seafood in Empuriabrava

In our first visit to Empuriabrava we were received by a great seafood plat, we were lucky because the high season wasn't came yet, therefore we were comfortably served in the restaurant.

We don't remember where we stayed, but it was on the shopping and food business street, S.Mori street.

It's need to point out that we don't find this town as attractive as other ones in Emporda, however I think it deserves a visit.

Would you like to come next summer?

Day 133 - 22/01/2014 : Cadaqués from Des Pianc beach

This is the typical picture from D'es Pianch beach in Cadaques. You should take the path on the left hand in the bay and walk carefully by the edge of the rocks, you could get into the water !!!

The shores will show us clean and fresh waters ready to be tasted but pay attention, the water in Costa Brava sometimes is too cold, you're advised !

Continuing to the north a light climb starts to give the chance to take the most known picture of Cadaqués with all the bay spreed out from left to right.

Definitely, it's a town you will come back.

Day 132 - 21/01/2014 : Splendid view of Cadaqués from St. Maria church

St Maria Church is governing all the Cadaques pictures.

To reach their doors a lovely walk should be issued from the narrow and steeped streets of the town, seeing painted white houses with their Catalan symbols and little and interesting shops to buy some handmade craft.

From the esplanade of the church the view of the town is impressive.

Come and check yourself  !!
