Wow! What an absolutely incredible experience, staying in Les Planes at Beatriz's fantastic house.

The views from the front door, terraces, and bedrooms are simply stunning. Do yourself a healthy favor, and spend a Sunday afternoon exploring the hills of Les Planes. Walk towards the village's peak, befriend roaming dogs, and have a beer in the uppermost restaurant. From la casa, the sunrises and sunsets will absolutely bedazzle you with their calming and invigorating energies.

Twenty minutes away, by way of the FGC, ride down into the heart of Barcelona, and eat at every authentically Catalan and Spanish bar possible. Have a few Voll Damms, and be thrilled that in the quiet of the night, you can head back to Les Planes, open up a bottle of cava, and relax into Catalonia's charms.

I cannot speak highly enough of Beatriz's offering of this house to travelers. Balancing the countryside with the city bears all the ingredients of perfect living.

Un blanco gato may pop up at the doorstep. Be sure to pet him lovingly, and stare deeply into his blue and yellow eyes.
