An amazing stay in a quiet amazing little corner of Spain! Arriving from Valencia, Ventalló was quite a downshift. Driving into town from the a7 it immediately becomes picturesque. The tractors on the roadways really drive the speed of life 30 km/hr. Street signs, like in the other small towns of Spain, are pretty non existent which led to a little confusion. But a very nice woman, who spoke no English, directed us up the hill a little further to the Plaza Major and onto the BnB.
We never had a chance to meet Christina. However she still managed to make us feel extremely welcome. The chilled cava in the fridge was quite a nice touch! The kitchenette is a perfect mix of the farm land you find yourself with the comforts of a modern flat. Several chairs and futon made for found lounging. The shower and bathroom were great, the toilet still it's UPC sticker on it... The bedroom was huge, with a great old wardrobe and a wonderful bed. Probably the best point of the whole place was the rooftop terrace. With several tables and chairs it was a great place to watch the sunset and greet the morning the next day. There is also laundry facilities up there in the open air (under a small half roof). Ventalló was pretty shut down on our Wednesday afternoon arrival. My camera shutter being the loudest thing in the square. In fact most of the restaurants it seems had closed for the season (our visit was in late October). We were able to find a late night dinner (22:30?) in nearby Sant Pere Pescador from a fantastic fisherman who had "too much fish."
Overall a fantastic relaxation stop on our way up to the Dali museum in Figueres. We have already started talking about bringing the family back to the region and staying here again!
