Roosting

[frenchtoast]

A long shot but does anyone know of apartments/villas around the Barcelona coastline region - in somewhere not too built up?

I have flights on a Thursday but most accomm is from Sat-Sat. I've tried Homelidays, Owners Direct, Holiday lettings.

Cheers

Try looking at the website of individual towns in the area you want to visit. There are often links to the local information centre. So get out the map and look up a few places. Are you flying into Barcelona or Gerona? We know the area around Gerona very well, but not Barcelona. You could try looking in Rosas (Roses), Cadeques, San Pere Pescador.

 

Hope you find somewhere.

Thanks Patricia.

I'll have a go at local websites although I think I've exhausted most English speaking ones. Annoyingly, a lot don't seem to keep their "availability" columns up to date.

We have to fly to Barcelona as we are meeting half the party who can only fly into Barcelona and only on a Thursday! We don't mind driving up to 2hrs in either direction along the coast, so up to Rosas would be OK. My sister recommends Tamariu upwards but "Ooops, word censored!"ody seems keen to offer Thurs-thurs even although they still have two weeks vacant over our dates. I don't blame them.

So back to the search!

Cheers!

Have used this site before and you deal directly with the owners, so they may be more accomodating.

Thanks Claire,

This site has some beautiful properties! I'll have a bash and if nothing doing, will keep them in my favourites for future holidays.
