Valdemossa, Mallorca

We begin our short trip to Mallorca with the small but very cozy medieval town of Valdemossa, well known for its Carthusian monastery, where the famous composer Frederic Chopin lived for almost 2 months in the winter of 1838-1839 with his beloved woman, recognized novel writer George Sand. Chopin’s tuberculosis was not cured, but several famous musical works were born here, in the silence and solitude of the monastery, as well as the book “Winter in Majorca” was wrote by the jaunty pen of George Sand.

On a ferry to Mallorca

If you, as in a famous song, suddenly dreamed about Palma de Mallorca while sleeping – it means you have to go there! The distance from Barcelona to Mallorca in a straight line is about 180 kilometers, planes fly there every hour. But if you are accustomed to travel by car, then there is a more suitable route – take a trip on the ferry; only 7.5 hours of a ferry trip – and you are in Mallorca!
A detailed story with useful information about our journey aboard the Transmediterranea ferry to Mallorca can be found at the link.

Sea trip from Estartit along the coast and to the Medas islands

If you are tired of the heat on the beach, we recommend that you take a sea trip on the catamaran of the Nautilus company from the town of L’Estartit up along the Costa Brava coast, and then to the Medas islands. There are three different options to choose from, the longest three-hour option is to cruise along the coast to the ruins of the ancient city of Ampurias, swim in a secluded bay with crystal clear water, where you can never reach from the shore, and finally see the underwater flora and fauna of the Medas islands – a national natural park located just opposite the Estartit.
More detailed information and photos taken during our trip can be viewed at the link – Sea trip from Estartit.

Валь де Нурия, Vall de Núria
In the summer, when the merciless heat of August descends on the homes of civilians in Spain, even we, the residents of the Costa Brava, sometimes want to plunge into the coolness, but not into the coolness created by air conditioner, no – to plunge into the real coolness of the thin air of the Pyrenees, to enjoy the sound of mountain streams and to soak our feet into a cooling freshness of the mountain lake… At such moments we go to Vall de Núria; just 1h 35 minutes by car on the C-25 highway past the Montseny Natural Park, and then another 40 minutes of ascent on the “cremallera” – the cog railway – and you are in the realm of greenery and freshness!
We invite you to take a virtual walk to the Vall de Nuria valley, a real oasis in the middle of the summer heat.

As usual, in June 2017 in Playa de Aro, on the territory of a free parking lot (the one where there is a noisy market on Fridays), traditionally takes place the exhibition of American Cars, held by the Catalan American Cars Club. Everything is as usual – cool cars made over the past 50-60 years, the roar of engines, tires are smoking, sausages are frying, loud rock from the speakers, the public in cowboy hats 🙂
