Leucate is a fishing village located on a peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and the Leucate Lagoon. The lagoon is beautiful, with houses and boats lining its shores. Leucate’s harbour is quite lively with bars, restaurants, and shops. But the highlight for us was the oyster farms, situated in a small harbour with seafood restaurants overlooking the sea and the […]
We went to Collioure because our friend María José told us we had to, since it’s beautiful. So, following her advice, we went, and it’s stunning, as you’ll see in the photos. Following the policeman’s advice, we went to the centre of Port-Vendres to catch the bus. There was no one at the bus stop, and since we didn’t know […]
Port-Vendres is 20 km from the Spanish border, and we chose to visit it because it appears to be a charming fishing village, known for its secluded coves, harbour, and military heritage, most notably Fort Béar. You can also visit the neighbouring town of Collioure and walk the coastal path, which offers breathtaking views. Where to stay We stayed at […]
We went to Llançà because it’s 20 km from the French border and has a free motorhome area. The town is very small but very pretty. Highlights include the old town, with the Church of Sant Vicenç and its Romanesque tower; the seafront promenade, with its restaurants; the coves; and the views from the Castellar Islet. Where to stay We […]
As I mentioned in my last blog post, we went to see Roses on the motorbike. Roses has an impressive citadel, a lively seafront promenade, and a beach with views of Empuriabrava. What to see We parked right at the entrance to the Citadel and went in. To the right of the entrance is a museum, which we didn’t visit […]
We chose Empuriabrava because it had a better and cheaper motorhome area than Roses, and we could visit Roses from there. To our surprise, upon arrival, we discovered that Empuriabrava is the Venice of Spain. The entire town is crisscrossed by navigable canals that lead to the port, which is full of beautiful spots. We were also told that it’s […]
We visited Santa Pau because we had heard it was one of the 10 most beautiful towns in the province of Girona, and it didn’t disappoint. Santa Pau stands out as a historical and artistic monument. The views from the viewpoint square are incredible; they were our favourite part. Where to stay We stayed at the municipal motorhome area (42.146931, […]
We went to spend Valentine’s Day in Maçanet de la Selva, in Girona. The only thing I’d heard about this place was that it had a beautiful Romanesque church and lots of walking trails. I was surprised by how small a town could have everything and by how friendly the people were. Where to stay We stayed in the village’s […]
We went on the motorbike to Cambrils, a coastal town that surprised us with its port and its seafront promenade, the liveliest area of Cambrils, with many interesting things and a wide range of bars and restaurants. What to see We parked the motorbike at the entrance to the Old Town, which you enter through a gate in the ancient […]
We went to Vinyols i els Arcs because it’s a picturesque rural village with a historic old town, very close to Cambrils. We decided to visit this small village and take the opportunity to see Cambrils on the Costa Dorada. Highlights in Vinyols include the Baroque church of Santa Catalina and its town hall. Where to stay We stayed in […]
