Rosas, Catalonia, Spain
Monday, June 20, 2011
Months ago when we decided that we would spend some time in Europe, we decided it would be fun and more economical to do a house swap. We listed the house in Florida. As pretty as Minnesota is, I can't say I saw a single inquiry for anyone looking to go there. A retired couple contacted me about having a 2 week exchange and sent me pictures of their place in Rosas. The place looked really cute but they never mentioned exactly where it was located. Looking on Google images, I found some cute pics of the town. I had really no expectations about the apartment other than a cute living room and dining area. Isn't it the best when something far exceeds your expectations.
The building has 2 apartments with a lovely American couple on top of ours. It's situated mid-hill with amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees in the background. It's a 5 mins walk down to the beach and about 10-15 mins coming up steep hills. (Barb- did you read this? s-t-e-e-p hills, no need for any other leg workout ;) Rosas, is a sweet costal town with shops, restaurants, and (so far) fabulous weather.
We spent yesterday at the outdoors and covered markets, at the beach and my nephew Francis cooked up a very yummy Mediterranean meal. Today we went for a long walk in a National Natural Park and had great Paella on the beach. I can't say the pictures do this place justice.
Truly wish I could share this with all my friends and family.
Love,
Lu
