[QUOTE="VNwalking, post: 937255, member: 38350"] Day 1, Llançá-Figueres, part 2. Onwards from Santa Creu de Rodes to Figueres (35.5km from Lançá); shorter stages ending at either Vilajugia (20.8km from Lançá) or Peralada (28.8km from Lançá) After our bush-bashing in search of menhirs, the camino heads down and away from the sea eventually into flatter alluvial terrain beyond. We're leaving the coast and heading into another microclimate, as the plants tell us: According to [USER=537]@peregrina2000[/USER] the way is well-marked, but with rocky sections. Speaking of rocks... Here is the overview of what our feet meet, for the small subset of rock nerds among us like [USER=22956]@Peregrinopaul[/USER] . From [URL unfurl="true"]http://info.igme.es/cartografiadigital/datos/magna50/jpgs/d2_G50/Editado_MAGNA50_258.jpg[/URL] Suffice it to say that the hills above Llançá are [I]old [/I](on either side of 488mybp)[I], [/I]but we come down into newer alluvial rocks once past Vilajugia. [ATTACH alt="Screenshot_20210710-142702_Opera.jpg"]104444[/ATTACH] [I]Vilajugia[/I] The first town we come to, Vilajugia, has a number of bars, and a hostal shown on my OSMand map: Hostal Xavi [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.catalunya.com/hostal-xavi-17-13001-2639?language=en[/URL] There's also [I]very[/I] upmarket accomodation: Caves Gelama [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.facebook.com/gelama/[/URL] [I]Peralada[/I] This is the next possibility for a place to stay or eat before Figueres. There is no shortage of both tourists and history here: With a nice place to eat, even for us vegetarians: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.restaurantcafedelcentre.com/en/menu-del-dia[/URL] Possible accomodation (not necessarily inexpensive!): Hostal Can Palol, Carrer Nou de Sant Joan, 6, 17491 Peralada, Girona 972 53 80 74 Hotel de la Font Bajada Font, 15 - 19, 17491 Peralada, Girona [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hoteldelafont.com/[/URL] Turisme rural Can Genís Carrer Vilella, 25, 17491 Peralada, Girona [I]Vilabertrán[/I] Continuing on, we come to this little 'sleeper' of a town, hiding the gem that is the Colegiata of Santa María: I found this BnB: Ca La Gloria Carrer Josep Reig i Palau, 2, Casa D, 17760 Vilabertran, Girona [URL unfurl="true"]https://calagloriavilabertran.blogspot.com/?m=1[/URL] And Can Caulas Carrer de l'Abat Rigau, 9, 17760 Vilabertran, Girona 972 54 70 18 From here it's not far to our final destination, for the striders amongst us: [I]Figueres[/I] Laurie stayed in Hostal Sanmar, I'll let her say more from first-hand experience. Apparently, there is now an albergue: Figueres is famous for Dali, of course, and if that is your thing, plan ahead to be in town with plenty of time to visit the museum: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/teatre-museu-dali/en_index/[/URL] There is also a gothic church, recently ruined and then restored at great cost: And I'm sure much more. Any veterans of this route please fill in the many gaps I've left!! And have at, [USER=537]@peregrina2000[/USER] ! I have finally caught up with you. [/QUOTE]
