| Catalan:
The local language of Catalonia (Catalunya). It reads like French,
sounds like Spanish - and is generally messed up by all the visitors!
But no one cares. We can help you get by if need be. |

Accommodation
|
|
High
on the hill at the top of Paüls, a 4 bedroom house with
all ensuite bathrooms. Sleeps up to 12 - with all conveniences
and magnificent views.
How
about a countryside apartment in Aldover, or
clean new cottage with its own pool right on the river?

See
Accommodation
for more information, including some with their own
fishing docks or boats.
And
now also two apartments in this lovely orange grove
villa, just five minutes from historic Tortosa.
And
a fabulous ground floor apartment with great views of
the mountains near Tortosa, but cooler as it nestles
in the hills.
Or
how about a "Hunter's Lodge" in the Burga
valley in the Cardo foothills, with horse riding or
off-roading? An out of the ordinary holiday experience
in the Catalan heartland.

And
for a much classier vacation home-away-from- home, consider
one of these luxury suites in a lovely village house
in Rasquera - also in the Burga valley.
Or
a 2 bedroom cottage just outside Benifallet with stunning
views of the river and valley. A perfect peaceful spot
with easy access to fishing, hiking, birding and the
beach.

Diary
from Spain
.... and there is no going back.
|
| Our
complete diary, with pictures. The adventures, the joys,
the family hassles, the medical issues, finding a property,
our crazy building phase, our Spanish family and our connections
to the outside world. We didn't quite realize how much
we were pioneers in settling in this part of Spain, even
though we came in 2003.

Vacationing
in the Tortosa region
....
lower Ebro area of Spain
|
|
Along
with vacation, travel and relocation, explore the Lower
Ebro River Valley (Baix Ebre) and all the many ecological
delights of the Ebro Delta area of Spain (Costa Daurada),
especially around Tortosa. And of course, the wonderful
Terra Alta vineyards, along with the peacefulness of
the Ribera D'Ebre plateau.
See
why it is a brighter decision to fish and vacation in
this part of Spain. The area abounds with an enormous
variety of birds and birds of prey…a "twitchers" delight…
Hikers and cyclists heaven. More

Tortosa Interests

|
Need
some Spanish or Catalan lessons?
For
many UK people, learning Catalan is easier than Spanish
because of its strong overlap with French. 
Or
how about a good cuppa tea?
See
about these and other places of local interest in the
Local Guide
section. Includes walking tours, festivals and other
current events.

Why
not live the Brighter Spain life and relax in one of
our choices of accommodation - with no pressure from
Agents? Draw your own conclusions and have a vacation
at the same time. Bring the family.
Or
retire to Tarragona province like we did. You'll love
it too. It is far less crowded, and much cheaper hear,
than the Costa Del Sol or Costa Brava areas, yet we
are only 90 minutes from the fabulous Barcelona metropolis.

Art
and History
|
|
This
region overflows with interests for the artists and
historians (especially abundant old Roman history).
It is a land of Four Seasons - each to be enjoyed -
and the amazing autumn colours of the tree-clad mountains,
vineyards and fruit groves - wild flowers in all seasons
- a beauty to capture on film - panoramic seasons to
match the best in the world - a view around every corner!

We
passed on buying this fixer-upper!
