Thank you Joseph and Zaida for a fantastic stay in your wonderful house. It was so kind of Joseph to meet us and show us around and especially to try to find us a restaurant to eat at on a busy Saturday night. The house was lovely and clean and also very spacious with 3 bedrooms and 3 big bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we would need. The beds were very comfortable and the mosquito screens in the windows a great bonus. The pool is shared but only with 2 other families and so there is enough room for everyone to use it. The house is right next to the village shop which sells fresh coffee for 1 euro, freshly baked bread and other provisions. There is also a fantastic restaurant 5 minutes walk from the house. The town, supermarkets and beaches of L'Escala are only a 5 to 10 minute drive away at the most. The main beach of L'Escala was busy but never crowded and there are lots of tasteful shops and restaurants along the promenade. The holiday makers seemed to be mainly Spanish and French with a few Dutch. We never heard an English accent all week so we felt we were truly in Spain and able to practice our Spanish. There are lots of other lovely beaches near the main beach with pine forest rather than shops as a back drop and, again, never over crowded. Parking near these beaches was easy and not expensive. One day we hired bikes and cycled from L'Escala main beach along the cycle path to another beach. You can also hire SUPs and kayaks on the beach. Another day we hired kayaks in a village called Colomers and kayaked 7km to Verges then cycled back with bikes provided, past some excavated Roman Villas, but they do also provide a mini bus back as well. My son and husband hiked up a local mountain near to L'Escala which has a castle on top. There is an archeological Roman site in L'Escala too. All in all, we had a lovely holiday and stay in Albons, which is a quiet village with beautiful views of surrounding mountains and farmland. We definitely recommend your beautiful house to anyone who wants to stay in a quiet beautiful area but be near to the shops and beaches too. We will definitely stay in your house again when we come back to the area in the future.
