San Carlos de la Rapita review

Office du tourisme parlant Français. Accueil chaleureux des commerçants en général. Front de mer et port agréable . Petite ville conviviale , sympathique, non surpeuplée . Jovialité confirmée des Catalans .


Costa Dorada reviews

Cote rocailleuse, polluée par endroit , plage de galets dangereuse. Dans les grosses agglomérations, les plages de sable sont artificielles avec des brises lames. Cependant, une très belle plage en pleine mer, à la pointe de la lagune des rizières de Deltebre. Climat agréable , mer tempérée. A la mi Aout, nombreuses fiestas toros traditionnelles le soir à Deltebre et Ampola sur des charrettes en guise de gradin de corridas . Super, on avait jamais vus cela depuis 30 ans que l'on vient en Espagne.
