Our holidays were not just about diving. We also enjoyed the
Mediterranean climate and the Spanish way of life. We rented a huge
apartment (with a private pool) on the Spanish side of the border in a
charming little town called Portbou. The road which leads there is
absolutely spectacular as it meanders along the mountain with a gorgeous
view of the sea.
It took us barely 5 minutes to go down to the beach, enjoy lunch or
diner on the harbour. But it took us a little longer to reach our other
destinations such as the very cute seaside town of Cadaquès, famous
because this is where Salvador Dali lived. We couldn't miss the museum
dedicated to his special and quite inspired art a little bit further in
Figueres.
Girona was a huge surprise. The town is a maze of little streets still
marked by their medieval past. The Jewish neighbourhood is particularly
well preserved and one must definitely enjoy a cold drink looking up at
the cathedral which (as the town) was used as a filming location for
Game of Thrones.
We just spent one day in Barcelona on a very hot and sunny day, just
walking around and taking a look at some of Gaudi's most famous
architectural achievements. We promised ourselves to come back one day
and take more time. It's a plan !!!
