We went to Girona to watch the Champions League match between Girona and Arsenal.\u00a0 It’s quite a long drive so we decided to have a stopover on the way there and back to split the journey.<\/p>\n
First stop was L’Ametlla de Mar<\/strong>, a small fishing town in Costa Dorada, Catalonia. On reflection, stopping at a coastal town in January wasn’t the best idea, as we found that most of the restaurants were closed because it was off-season.\u00a0 The town has a nice harbour and some interesting murals.\u00a0 We stayed at Hotel Bon Repos which was a really nice hotel, with comfortable rooms, great walk in shower, large soft towels, comfy bed and nice self-serve continental breakfast.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px||10px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”1632,1640,1639,1635,1633,1641″ posts_number=”8″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” border_style_all_image=”none” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”21px|||||” custom_padding=”6px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We had been to Girona before so didn’t do the touristy things like walking along the city\u2019s medieval walls, the Passeig de la Muralla<\/strong>, visiting the cathedral, etc.\u00a0 As mentioned above, our main reason for this trip was to go to the Champions League match and we booked it at quite short notice, so it was difficult to get a hotel room.\u00a0 We landed up staying at the Ibis on the outskirts of the city – a walk of 20 minutes\u00a0 or so to the centre.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”1646,1644,1648,1665″ posts_number=”8″ show_title_and_caption=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” min_height=”196px” height=”196px” max_height=”100px” custom_margin=”-16px|||||” border_style_all_image=”none” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”33px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
