Location: In summer the town becomes bustling but not at all rowdy. The absence of any high-rise buildings gives it a bright and friendly atmosphere. Its geographical position makes it an ideal base for travelling further afield. Nearby Figueres was home to the famous artist Salvador Dali. Then there are the 'Villages Typiques' just north of the border near Perpignan. To the south there is the provincial capital of Girona and the capital of Catalonia - Barcelona. To the west is the lake at Banyoles, Ripoll, duty free Andora and the snow-capped Pyrenees with skiing for many months of the year. Just 2km north lies the walled medieval village of St. Marti with its pleasant Plaza Major, many bistros and pretty church and museum.
