Costa Brava

The first week of December we took another holiday to visit the Costa Brava. We stayed 3 days in Figueras and we visited the town and a big fortress on a hill above it, it's one of the biggest in Europe. Another day we drove to the Cap de Creus peninsula, next to the boarder to France. There we visited the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes and the lovely village of Cadaques at the end of the peninsula.
On the way to France we stopped in the medival town of Peralada before driving along the coast to France, where we stayed 2 days in Argelès-sur-Mer. We visited the amazing old town of Collioure with many nice buildings and a fort built by Vauban.
Back in Spain we stopped in Castello d'Empuries with a nice cathedral and then we spent the night in Rodes where we had a nice sunset. In this region nearly every day we had very strong winds, so we could stay outside for a long time. On the way back to Barcelona we had a stroll through the nice medival village of Peratallada.
