Spain - Lloret de Mar, Barcelona and Tossa de Mar

Ola,
My mid term break has been and gone and Im back at work feeling like I just didn't have a week off in Spain! 
Before we departed we lost a 'man' to an ear infection so that just left Amanda, Vic and myself to battle the Brits abroad.  The trip started with the an early Ryan air flight out of Stanstead - how else would a cheap holiday start, its the only way.  We arrived at our resort, which I would call a hotel with a pool, in time to sample the free cocktails and hit the restaurant for lunch.  The food was very ave - french fries were served at breakfast, lunch and dinner so this gives you some idea as to how classy the 'resort' was.  Not to mention the plastic cups our drinks were served in, and this now gives you the full picture of our holiday experience.

We had two days where we took day trips to explore Barcelona.  It was nice to get away from the tacky Englified tourist town of Lloret de Mar where we were staying.  Barcelona had some crazy looking architecture from Antoine Gaurdi and a lovely built up water front area.

On another day we took a quick bus trip to Tossa de Mar where we wandered quaint little cobble stoned streets and found restaurants tucked into the hill side.  Tossa was less touristy and more Spanish than English.  The weather started pissing down towards the end of the day so we headed back to our resort for cocktails and french fries.

With no plan of attack for our last day we bit the bullet and explored Lloret de Mar.  We managed to find an awesome Dutch restaurant and another place selling cheap gellato.
All in all we got what we paid for with this trip.  £258 - all inclusive food and drinks, flights, transfers and 4 nights accommodation.  It was a shame the weather wasn't a little hotter as we didn't get to relax by the pool or swim in the sea which was my main plan for the holiday.
Next trip is to Florence for 4 days with a work conference.

Adios amigos.
