Catalonia, Spain

They are ideally placed for shopping, restaurants, sea, golf and sightseeing in this fascinating area of northern Spain. The charming village of La Bisbal is just 5 minutes away, with its renowned weekly market and lively shops and restaurants and the Costa Brava beaches and coves are only 7 miles away.
