This is a round-up post of our travel discoveries in Spain at the end of October 2014, particularly in the region of Catalonia. I hope it can inspire you if you are planning your trip to Catalonia.  Our trip started at Tbilisi, went through Istanbul, and landed at Barcelona El Prat Airport (by Pegasus) We booked a car from the Firefly office at El Prat Airport and our one-week-long adventures started.  This trip took us from Barcelona to Girona, then to Roses and Cadaques, and then back to…

This happened at the last days of October 2014, when after a week long travels around Catalonia we finally returned back to our starting point - Barcelona. And so we decided to visit some local attractions. We all probably are familiar that one of the must have attractions in Barcelona is La Sagrada Familia cathedral, though we find this famous attraction, we refused to stay on a very long queue to get there in. Another attraction we decided to visit was something  Park Guell (again, though…

Have you ever heard something of a tiny microstate of Andorra? I had, but my knowledge was short - so short, I didn't realize the precise location of it - I mean, I knew it's somewhere sandwiched between Spain, France or maybe France and Italy or even Spain and Portugal. In other words - yes I knew that such a place exists, but knew nothing more about it. Now I'm a little bit smarter in my Geography :) So, how I got there? It all went spontaneous - after a couple of days in Spain, we decided,…

During our one week trip in Spain, region of Catalonia, we did a lot of driving. We drove almost all around Catalonia, stayed at lovely Costa Brava townlets - and you know what? It's more than enough with one week - and you are sick and tired of completely identical seaside town lets. They are nice, they are charming... but if you need more - go away from those charming town lets with beautiful seaside views. At least we did so - after another charming tay at lovely resort town of Sitges, we…

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 Spain, but it's a very popular destination for gay and…

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 Bicycle on streets of Peratallada Property for sale on…

On our second day on Catalonian trip, we left Girona and headed to Roses (Girona municipality) and after a short 5 minute stay at Roses we headed to Cadaques (Girona municipality). I decided to stick with motto: one picture can say more than 1000 words, and here you have - 30 pictures I took during our trip Roses, Girona - Cadaques, Girona. Beach at Roses, Girona Roses, Girona Literraly after 5 minutes here at Roses beach we decided - there is no need to dig deeper in this beautiful…

This probably will be a long photo article, with few comments on each of the photo. It was my first time visiting Spain, and stop of Girona came just right after we landed in Barcelona, rented a nice Renault Megane car from Fire Fly company. During this trip I only started to recognize what is Catalonia - not any more an abstract term for me - it's real place with real folks and attractions there.  So here are few shots from Girona, Cathedral of Girona and Jewish Quarter (probably last two…

<p>This weekend I'm going to my first ever trip to Spain. One of the essential things I'll need there is an internet connection. To get a internet I have few options &nbsp;- to chase for some FREE WiFi spots, to connect to internet at hotel.. well that's nice - but I need an internet connection all the time. I must be covered!</p><p><strong>Do I really must be covered?</strong></p><p><strong></strong> Yes, I really must be…

Georgia teaches one useful thing - everything is relative - So did happened at last weekend of August, when following previous weekend's trend for getting out of Tbilisi, we decided to book a hotel in remote Napareuli village (some 20 km from Telavi) - so at Saturday morning we decided to take marshrutka to Telavi and then from Telavi to take a taxi.  First things first - I found that marshrutkas leaves to Telavi from Samgori. We catched a Taxi and went to our Marshrutka station. Taxi driver…
