Tossa de Mar

Leo and I have been traveling a lot lately, touring cities, squeezing as many death marches into a day as we possibly can, so we decided we just needed to relax a bit on this vacation. This is why we decided to head north of Barcelona to the small beach town of Tossa de Mar. Leo had booked us into a small pension, which we knew almost nothing about (I think there was one review of the place online in Danish). The Fonda Codolar is run by a mother and daughter. It's located on a quiet street in the old city. We had booked a room with a bathroom, and the first one they showed us only had a sink. So we asked if we could have another one, and the woman apologized as she took us to a "smaller" room - the room was on the top floor, with a balcony the length of the room. We were in awe. The view from the balcony was amazing, overlooking the water, and we happily switched rooms.We also happily partook of the local drink - Sangria de Cava while sitting in a rooftop restaurant in the old town.

I am all for it! We can find a nice house and just hang around. We will go to some of those markets Jen has a picture of and cook nice food and enjoy it. Sounds really lovely.
Almost as good as beaches in North Carolina. And I am sure the markets will be much better.

Actually, if you will give me a time frame, I will start working on finding the house right now. How the Christmas week sounds to you? May be even including the New Year celebraion?
