gardenia places to go

Why not come to the real part of Spain and visit the famous ruins of Empuriés along
the coast nearby, two complete towns, one Greek, one Roman, and wander through
ancient times. The remains clearly show the layouts of the towns and buildings and
include a number of beautifully preserved mosaic floors, an impressive city wall and an
amphitheatre. The small museum displays artefacts found in the ruins.

The beautiful beaches below the ruins are a perfect place to relax after a morning's
exploration. You could also walk along the boardwalk to the tiny medieval hamlet Sañt
Marti for lunch in the square over looking the sea.

Visit Figueres where the Dali Museum is located, Barcelona the capital of
Catalonia, and Geroña the medieval walled city is a worthy day trip from our villa. As
an antidote to cultural overload, why not visit the Aqua Brava water park on the
outskirts of Roses. On our visits we have found it clean and a carefully landscaped
theme park with plenty to do throughout the day for all age groups.

Another suggestion, spend a day on the "Dali Trail" driving along breathtaking mountain
roads, through the pretty town of Cadaques and on to the coast road around the
artist's former home at Port Lligat all within easy reach from our villa.
