Wow! This town is full of things to do and stuff to see, a lot more than you could over a three day weekend. We lucked out and escaped horrid weather back home by driving our little red bus all the way to Spain, at the breathtaking speed of 90 km/h. Once there, we realized that there is so much to do that we had to pick and choose, between architecture (Gaudi etc), history and everything else. Highly recommended, very lively and nice weather too.

We did a short stopover in this medieval town on the way to Barcelona during the Easter break. A massive fortress with wide walls and narrow streets, and many gift shops, rebuilt as a monument to old times. Unfortunately it was raining and cold, so the pictures all look a little grey despite the location in the warm and sunny south of France.
