The home is located in a perfect location. At least 9 restaurants to chose from within 5 minutes walking distance from the home and a supermarket and bakery. Barcelona is a very quick train ride or 1 hour and 45 minute drive. L'Escala is only five minutes away with more shopping and restaurants. I rented a kayak on the beach right outside the house and I also rented a boat for the entire day at L'Escala port only five minutes away; to snorkel at Medes Island. Only a little over an hour from the house is the South of France. We drove to Collioure France and spent the day at a castle, a Fort (St. Elme) and swimming at the beach between the ancient 17th century lighthouse and the castle. About 8 minutes from the home are the ancient Ruins of Empuries, a great historical site. A great first trip to Europe, thank you Vincent! (If you drive to Barcelona, there are tolls and it will cost 23.52 euros round trip for a car of two people. Three or more people costs more).
