A day at Castellfolit de la Roca

Earlier this week we took to the road and headed inland towards Girona and then on towards Banyoles and Besalu, bypassing these places we came to Castellfollit de la Roca - the most unusual place in this region we have come across yet. We had been told about this place previously and decided we must see it for ourselves...and so glad we did!

The town which is almost a kilometre long is actually built on the narrow cliff where two rivers the Fluvia and the Toronell flow on either side more than 50mts below! At the narrowest end of the town stands the local church with its 4 sided bell tower, where climbing to the top gives you spectacular views of the countryside, the mountains beyond and the rooftops of the medieval town as seen in the above photo.

This local lady has opened her home to sell her fruit and homemade produce to any passersby. 

Lloret de Mar Today

 Another beautiful day in Lloret as you can see from the photos here taken today we are still having fantastic weather with blue sunny skies and good temperatures!

Free Entrance to Llorets Attractions.

Over the next 3 days 26th, 27th, 28th Sept we have the chance to see inside some of Llorets museums and gardens for free. To celebrate European Heritage Days all the places mentioned on the leaflet below will be open to all visitors wishing to see some of the fantastic scenery of Llorets coast especially from the top of the Sant Joan Tower and the Santa Clotilde Gardens...and with the added bonus of good weather forecast theres plenty to do this weekend!

Sant Francesc Beach - Blanes

Not far from Lloret towards Blanes is the beautiful little beach of Sant Francesc, surrounded by picturesque woodland (and not forgetting the large expensive villas!) but there is one problem...and that is unless you have some form of transport then it is quite hard to reach from Lloret de Mar or Blanes...not even the boats stop at this beach. There is a very nice restaurant right on the beach where you can get a menu del dia, snack or a drink, so it could be a nice place to bring any friends or family who maybe be visiting you.
Other amenities at the beach are parking for cars & bikes, toilets, showers, sunbeds and pedalos.
