Life's about experiences. These are mine.
While Peratallada and Pals may sound like some cheesy folk band they are in fact a couple of medieval villages to the north of Girona.

Having done the major tourist attractions over the last few days we decided to head off the beaten track today. Initially we set the satnav for Besalú, a pretty medieval town, where we could walk the cobbled streets and admire the walls. But this was in the guide book and not the real spain that …
After a busy day yesterday we had a slow start to today with a wander around Girona before heading off to the coast for the concert that Mat was taking part in.
