Something that may be of interest to those who live here and even those on holiday is the Cap Roig Festival which takes place every year just up the coast near Calella de Palafrugel. Some of the artists appearing this year are Rod Stewart, Status Quo and the Cors.

Vilanova de Sau & Folgueroles.

Out in the Catalan countryside heading towards Vic are 2 beautiful little villages as you turn off the C25,  the first one you reach is Folgueroles and just a few kilometres further on is Vilanova de Sau. From both of these picturesque villages you have amazing views of the surrounding mountains, well worth a visit if you can! 

Vintage car museum - Girona

For the vintage car fans there is a very interesting museum you can visit, its only a 20 mins drive from Lloret as you head out to Girona on the A-2 (exit 697). Those who are familiar with the TV programme 'American Pickers' will appreciate just what is hidden away in this building! The photos here are just a small example of the cars, bikes and ancient carriages etc on show. 

You can find more details about the museum here - www.casc.cat
