[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 937289, member: 537"] I had no idea there were so many accommodation options, VN. That will make it easy for those who want to visit San Pere on a walking day. In Peralada, the 12C cloister stands alone, everything else has been destroyed. When I was there it was closed because of construction to improve the museum/entrance, but I did catch a glimpse from afar. There is also a castle, but it’s not placed in any sort of strategic position so it may have been more for show than for defense. I think it was totally remodeled in a later century and has some perfect crenellated towers. It’s now a meeting/events place. I got to Villabertrán after morning hours and before afternoon hours, so I didn’t see the inside, but I walked around the outside, which is pretty massive. I had not remembered that it was a [URL='http://patrimoni.gencat.cat/es/coleccion/canonica-de-santa-maria-de-vilabertran'][B][I]Cistercian monastery.[/I][/B][/URL] Alan’s description, as always, makes me wish I could have seen it. Figueres is a lively town, due to the Dalí museum. I am not a big fan, so I was not distraught when, after lunch, I went over to the entrance to see there were no post-lunch opening hours. Hours are straight through the day with last entry around 5 or so. So I went to the museum Rick mentioned above, which had some of the San Pere de Rodes capitals and some other religious art. I think there is also a smattering of painting from medieval up to modern. But I loved the capitals the best. :p Good restaurants, nice plazas with outdoor cafés (my notes say sitting in the Plaza das Patatas was enjoyable). The Dalí museum building itself is a novelty, so at least walk around it. I am sure I chose my hostal because it was the least expensive game in town. Catalunya is not cheap. It was fine, like hundreds of others on caminos offering clean basic rooms, just at a higher price point. It was in a modern building, but very close to the old center and the museum. No complaints.
