Been a long time since I visited so hello to those that know me (us).
After a couple of years on the road PIM and I are hoping to return to Spain next year, more specifically somewhere near Barcelona. I would like some advice on where in the region we should concentrate our house searching. Whilst we like visiting cities, we are day by day becoming more and more campasino so would prefer not to live actually in the city, we also want to buy a place that will have a little land for a garden and maybe a few chickens etc. My job means I travel a lot so we would have to be in easy reach (say upto an hour from) of the main Barcelona airport, also I want to live withing walking distance to the sea.
Do you have any suggestions about where we should begin our searching? We have in general been considering Penedes but there is only so much you can learn from internet searching so we want to use the break around New Year to check out a town or two. We know it is the off season, but we figure we should see a place at its' quietest as well as later in the year.
Finally, what on earth should we do for new year? PIM's 'condition' means she probably won't be up to dance clubs and all night parties (and anyone who knows me will be grateful that I won't inflict my dancing on the good folk of Cataluña, my style is more Fat Boy Fat than Fat Boy Slim) which is just about all we find using Google. Any little towns with fun celebrations and good restaurants?
Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
M.
