Hotel Hesperia Sant Just in Barcelona Review
We stayed at this hotel about a month ago, during our one week Catalonia trip, in which we actually drive even to Andorra, so this hotel was our last hotel in Spain before departing back to Georgia. To book this hotel we chose hotwire.com (they offer secret deals - you kinda buy a cat in a sack - but you don't need to worry about a bad product, you could get - there are major hotel brands, that are not willing to tell others - they are selling…
Autumn in Tsinandali - Alexander Chavchavadze House Museum
This was a great Saturday - our friend took us on a Kakheti drive - we went to Telavi (they have a great market there), Tsinandali (here is a house museum of Alexander Chavchavadze) and then we went to Royal Batoni near Ilia;s lake close to Kvareli. I decided to capture something from all of it - and in this post you will find pictures I captured at Alexander Chavchavadze house museum. First time I was here around 3 years ago, also in…
Spontaneous Visit of Montserrat Mountain, Spain
Another spontaneous idea of visiting Montserrat Mountain arrived at our heads, after Google Maps misguided us from the main traffic road to Barcelona, and we went on the wrong direction - but hey - we noticed a sign directing to Montserrat. Signs speak themselves. Update: Visit of Mount Montserrat was a place from our about week long travels across region of Catalonia in Spain and Andorra. (Originally this article…
Hotel Gaspa Review in Ordino, Andorra
One thing I like about travel - is to choose hotels on site (who needs a booking systems? ). So did happen this time, when we chose this 2 star hotel in Ordino, Andorra. As you might already now, Andorra is a tinny micro state sandwiched between Spain and France, so if you travel here by car, it's nothing tragic to drive out of capital city Andorra La Vella to find your perfect hotel. After few minutes drive, we found ourselves in town/village…
Sitges - a Popular Resort Town in Spain
During our Spain trip, we visited many interesting towns and places, like town of Girona, Salvadors Dali museum at Figueras, charming stone building town Peratallada, Begur, Roses and Cadaques and other. Now was turn for a popular resort town of Sitges, located close to Barcelona. As usual I don't pay much attention for a new exploring object before visiting it - and it was fun latter to learn that Sitges is not only popular resort town in…
Hotel Globos Review in Sitges, Spain
One of the things I like about hotels is not to plan a stay at hotel before. No bookings, no planning. Just pass by, if you like it - go into it, and ask for a room and price. The best of this is bargain. So did happened this time, after we arrived from Peratallada, a nice medieval town to resort city of Sitges, close to Barcelona. Turns out with spontanous decissions I have not only stayed on hotel I liked, but I have visited one of the most…
Peratallada - a Charming Stone Building Town in Catalonia, Spain
When we left a charming hotel in Begur, we straight headed to a little and charming medieval town of Peratallada, which is located some 22 km east of Girona, and some 15 km west of Begur. Here are 22 pictures I made at this lovely town: Road to Peratallada Peratallada Medieval streets of Peratallada Medieval streets of Peratallada Medieval streets of Peratallada Catalan flag on streets of Peratallada Peratallada…
Hotel Es Cel de Begur Review in Begur, Spain
On our third Spain trip day we stayed overnight at one of the interesting hotels I have ever stayed - Es Cel de Begur Hotel at Bergur. We booked this hotel on Booking.com it offered a huge savings, instead of paying EUR 400 we paid for room with partial sea view and bed with baldachine EUR 81. Well I doubt the actual value for this room is EUR 400, it's more some booking.com neat marketing trick. But price EUR 81 for such a hotel room in…
Salvador Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain
In our second day trip to Spain we visited Salvador Dali Museum located in town of Figueres. I can tell you just one - This has finally happened - had heard so much about this great place before and now I actually visited it.There are not much words I can use to describe this fabulous museum in Figueras, instead I can offer you 16 pictured from this place (Originally there were 43 pictures, but 2 years latter since…
Hotel Tarongeta Review in Cadaques
We stayed at hotel Tarongeta in Cadaques in our second day trip to Catalonia, Spain. You can read my photo article - covering Cadaques here. Choice of Tarongneta was made spontaneous and all agreements regarding accommodation was made on site, not using any third party booking services (thus, I must admit I found this hotel on booking.com before we arrived at Cadaques) This hotel offers few benefits - free parking on site, located in centre…
