Albons is a village of less than 100 inhabitants. It is tranquil, unhurried, a picturesque postcard place, with at its heart a Bar Social, .which is open all day long and serves excellent food. At the same time it is no more that a kilometre from the C31, which connects easily with Figueres, La Bisbal, Girona and beyond. Not much further away are L'Escala and its the ancient St Marti d'Empuries, or for those who would rather avoid the madness, El Riuet, classic spot for board riders of every variety.
The apartment was spacious, spotless, cool and beautifully equipped. Five shining stars.
