My secret list
One of my hobbies is digging around on Booking.com and finding bargains. Get an updated list of great value hotels in Catalonia – the Pyrenees, Costa Brava and further south.
Those that are suitable for a short or long weekend getaway, as there are plenty of them in Spain, with its many vacations, holidays, and long weekends.
Most of them are also suitable for children, but the most fun – without :)))
How did I come up with this list? After endless digging on Booking.com.
The places I looked for this time are rural, with rocky shores, slow, ecological, imbued with an atmosphere of calm and close to nature. Almost all of them are like that. If anyone has – I would be happy if you would share your opinion in the comments. If you have any more to recommend – feel free to put them in the comments.
So yes, I have a birthday coming up, and no – I’m not implying anything – this is a very detailed and clear request :)
A particularly worthwhile place I visited a few years ago is listed here with recommendations for trips and food in the area. Don’t miss it, it’s truly one of the best there is.
