Quote: NickyKiss "It is but I think a lot of people who go have stayed in France a number of times in the early years and like us have now changed to go to Spain instead. I think the main reasons really are availability of flights (there's far more choice to Spain then that area of France) and the general cost whilst over there (food/drink is far more expensive in Perpignan then it is in a Calella/Lloret). I also like staying in Lloret because it gives us the opportunity to do a day or stay a night or two in Barcelona.
If you were going for the first time though it would be nice to experience staying in Perpignan for a couple of nights.'"
Thanks, Nicky (and aboveusonlypie and CPM), that makes sense. I speak a fair bit of French but no Spanish, which perhaps makes me a little more comfortable there. Although I've been to Barcelona before, the Ramblas, the Sag Fam, Gaudi Parc etc, and I realise *everyone* speaks English there.
I know France isn't cheap but 100 euros! I'd have thought hiring a car wouldn't be much dearer than that.
