This wonderful garden was landscaped in a setting of great beauty on top of a cliff with breath-taking views over the sea, and it is a fine specimen of the spirit that animated the Noucentista movement in Catalonia - an early twentieth-century movement for intellectual and aesthetic renewal that found a distinguished spokesman in the writer Eugeni d'Ors. The Santa Clotilde gardens were designed in the manner of the dainty yet austere gardens of the Italian Renaissance by Nicolau Rubió i Tuduri at the age of twenty-eight, when he was still brimming over with admiration for his master in the art of landscape gardening, Forestier.

Spent 1 week on this beach in June and 1 week in October and have to say we love the beach yes it’s shingles and there’s a bank into the water and then a bit of a shelf in the water (so beware with little ones) but in places there is waves and they are so much fun tumbling you around we had such fun trying to get in and out of the water. Your bather, bikini or shorts will end up full of shingles if you get tumbled though. There’s a little ice cream hut at the end of beach towards Lloret end and the ice creams are lovely and reasonably priced too.

At the end of August this year my family and I spent a week in this absolutely beautiful place, it was inland in the Catalona area, it was totally unspoilt with tree lined avenues surrounding the massive lake, and lovely restaurants, it was so relaxing, we swam in the lake and went on the boats, it was like going back in time as everywhere you went it was so calm, and the people were lovely, so welcoming, we plan to go back next year.

This garden is well laid out and the map provided enables you to plan your route which is essential if the Festival is on and several routes are blocked due to the staging. There are steps so taking a stroller is tricky but possible. The cacti are impressive and the views equally so! It costs 8€ for adults and 3€ for pensioners. Children have free entry. Sunscreen and a hat are useful!

This is our favourite beach in the area. The sand is pure soft sand and the sea shelves very gradually making it ideal for young children. If you use the right side of the rocks (by the pedallos) the sea is much clearer. You can swim out quite far and still stand as it’s shallow for quite a way. There are activities available such as kayaking and our children have always enjoyed searching for crabs and fish amongst the rock pools. The cafes and bars are great and not too pricey. Only problem would be parking in the area but we have found a great little spot that charges €3 for the whole day which is to the right side behind some of the apartments and hotels.

We visited at the end of October which is probably the best time to go. There were very few people around and we were able to wander around in blissful silence. The colours are amazing and the walking trails are clearly marked. At the end of our walk we took the horse drawn carriage which leaves from the main carpark. The ride takes about an hour and costs 10 euros for adults. I would highly recommend this ride as it takes you to a different part of the area.
