Figueres isn't bad, whatever the comment I saw on some reservations site. The part we're in could best be described as functional, but we're only a couple of minutes from the old and pretty centre with its old buildings and some Moorish architecture.
Not too far from Barcelona, either, so I'm waving, Carina.
It was not 20° and sunny as promised, but we left the dogs in their 3-star kennel with balcony and set off for the Dali Museum. The outside is totally weird. The inside is beautiful. It is a reconstructed Moorish theatre in the round. Describing the visit is beyond my vocabulary, so I won't even try. Suffice it to say, we're here because I thought we ought to get some culture before we become complete rubes, but it turned out to be a detour well worth making.
I gave out at the jewel collection (flashy is not the word) and we came back to the hotel, collected the dogs and returned to the centre. We had a late lunch and walked around looking at the closed shops. (Siesta.)
Finally we went to the hypermarket and bought some grated cheese to sprinkle over last night's dinner for the dogs. (They didn't eat it for breakfast, either.) They ate and are now fast asleep.
We're now looking forward to dinner in the hotel, again, if for nothing else, for the service.
Oooh, I just *loved* Barcelona. Did you see the Sagrada Familia (please excuse my poor Amurrican spelling)?
ReplyDeleteNo, we didn't go to Barcelona. It was on the news the other night, but I wasn't paying attention as dinner was beckoning.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the cow and the Dali.

I agree the old part is attractive.
