Espagne

We had no idea that there are four public holidays in May in France.  Last Tuesday we found out that the boys had no school for the rest of the week, so Wednesday we headed to Spain for a spur-of-the-moment trip.  We had no idea where we were going, and ended up in some wonderful places - Cadaqués and Gerona, and we also went to Andorra and on the way home to a fabulous safari park.  Photos coming....
The main thing we noticed about Spain was how much cheaper things were compared to France - probably around 20% cheaper it seemed like, even though we were right up near the border with France.
We spent our time in Catalonia which views itself as a distinct region - a lot of things we read said Country - and Catalan was spoken all over, and all signs seemed to be in Catalan first, it seemed to be a mix of French and Spanish.  Most of the word were similar to French, but spelled differently.
