Hi guys - anyone from here going to the Catalan game in July?

Thinking of heading over for my 40th for a few days, child free and wondered the best way to do it.....stay in Spain and get the coach, or stay local to Perpignan

I’ve done both and the Spanish route , was best for me.

Staying in Spain and getting coach with Catalan Sports Tours is a great option. Lloret if you like a noisy resort. Santa Susanna/Malgrat de Mar for a quieter trip.

Haven't stayed in Perpignan but it looked nice from the few hours I've spent there.

Perpignan is a bit boring when it's not matchday, staying in Barcelona and getting a train up to Perpignan for the game is a good option, or exploring the places round Perpignan like Coloure and Carcassonne

What ever floats your boat , Perpignan is good for a day and agree with Steve0 about Collioure for a day there . I only did the Spain thing once and that was enough .
Not my type of resort and managed to cop a bus full of bellends as well .

as we have left the EU whats the passport issue if travelling on organised coach trip from Lloret ? TIA

Even when we were in the EU, you had to show passports at border crossings.

Need a stamp on entering and leaving EU countries now I think .

Flying into carcassonne, and having a few days in Perpignan. Done lloret and I prefer this way now. Train up to Perpignan about an hour and a half, lovely little place is Carcassonne.

Think I'm going to fly into Girona on the Friday morning, spend the day and Saturday in Lloret, bus to Barcelona on the Sunday, stay there Sunday evening and fly home from Barcelona on Monday evening

Watch out for those angry locals using water pistols on tourists
