Treating myself and junior - and flying to Barca on Tuesday and staying at lloret de marrs for 5 days.

Any advice from experienced dragons visitors would be appreciated please ?

Thank you

Been on the same trip previously - you will be dropped off outside the Castillet on arrival to Perpignan right in the centre where there is a bar cafe where many fans congregate. Walk past that to another main square where there are plenty of restaurants and normally a market too. Alternatively head for Bar la Source where many Hudds fans frequent for the great steak dinners but be warned they are huge. Coach will transport you from Castillet to the stadium that is approx a 15 min trip.
We are travelling in from Carcassonne this time as been to Perpignan many times now.
You will have a great time as we have always enjoyed our trips - better when we win of course

Cancel it and stay in Perpignan

The 'cattle trucks' drop off at le Castillet so everyone off those trips tends to just congregate in that little area of the city.
Grande cafe a la post(the one behind Le Castillet) is one of the more upmarket and therefore expensive bars since it had a makeover, there are some cracking little bars and restaurants all over the town, it depends how far away from the others you want to travel, Le Source, Bar'n'Britz, Mondial sports bar are also popular among the Perpignan regulars.

If your hungry i highly recommend Le Source for the steaks, they are huge and well priced, just a tip though, ask for it done one up from what you would at home!!.

Wouldn't ever consider not stopping in Perpignan.

lloret de mar bit of dump but youre going for a match and if giants win who cares!

i stayed in lloret de mar and rented a car, drove upto perpigan over the pyrenees mountains...long drive though would get somewhere closer next time or take the train/coach

we won when i went so i was happy! but it was freezing!! rained

Thanks for the info everyone.

Any more tips appreciated.

Freezing weather...,.,?!?.....expecting to top up me tan !

COYG- a big game for both teams - think winner would be favourite to avoid middle 8s.

Weather forecast ive seen has given out sun and 30 degrees for the saturday !!

Yes - just panic checked it.

Hot and sunny all week......

was april when i went!

robbo got sent off but still won, great win that was

I've been in March, April, May, June and July over the years and can only recall bad weather once, in April, it rained most of the day on the Saturday and the Place de la République was like a river that day.

get on a local bus, have a half day in Tossa, very nice, and another in Blanes. Girona close bye another good spot for a day out.

Forget the bus- if you are staying near fenals get the boat from the beach there- much more pleasant than the bus. Tossa is certainly worth a visit.

Thanks everyone.

I can confirm it is hot here.

Fingers crossed recent form Giants turn up on Saturday.....
