Katalónia

Barcelona is a great city to visit. It's a very cheap hour's train ride from Pineda. Calella is a 10 minute bike ride away, Blanes less than an hour. For the fitter/more adventurous, you can bike into the hills at the back of the town.

We liked the Delta de l'Erbe with its rice paddies. We particularly love the fabulous Restaurant Buffet la Rapita Braseria at Sant Carlos de la Rapita - have eaten there before and visited it twice this time - incredible selection of food for 13 Euros including drink - heaven!
