After touring the historic sites of Tossa de Mar, I needed a break. This is not the height of the…read moreseason for Tossa thus many eateries were closed. The restaurants that were opened were offering full meals. I just wanted a few small bites and a beer. I stumbled upon Can Tonet by accident; trying to find the Church of Sans Vincenc. The outdoor seating looked very inviting and it was a balmy sixty degree day. The menu offers traditional tapas: olives, toast with ham and cheese, calamari, traditional cheese assortments with Iberian ham, potata bravas and much more. I ordered the chicken croquettes that was accompanied by a red sauce. The croquettes were delicious; the sauce was delicious too but could have used a spicy kick. Their cocktail options were plentiful: beers (full and mini), vermouth, cava, sangria and other varietals. The zertig ( mini beer) hit the spot and was the perfect size for a midday drink. The service was friendly and accommodating. The interior of restaurant was also charming. It must be great for locals in the summer to come from the beach and linger for awhile here. The beach is about a ten minute walk. Thus, when in Tossa, dine like a local at Can Tonet.

Paella. The positive I can say, the rice was well cooked. The seafood not so. Half the mussels were…read morenot opened, the langoustines were over cooked, the other seafood was, I am guessing, squid? This was cooked tender, but the blackness imparted to the rice was not what I was expecting. If I wanted the black rice paella I would have ordered it. The price of €19 per person made me feel taken advantage of. The wine was good, a nice crisp relief to the heavy, cloying paella. The service? I have had worse, but only once in 30 years of European travel.

We visited for a dinner experience one night during our week-long stay in Begur…read more They offer a well varied selection of reinvented classic tapas dishes to choose from. We were advised to order three or four seasonal plates each, and then the service and kitchen team organized our selections into an elegant tapas tasting titillation. Service was very friendly, yet efficient and timely when necessary. Wine list was nicely put together with mostly affordable Spanish gems. Dining room is smaller than small, filled with characters, an equal mix of tourists and Spaniards alike. Don't go here for a romantic/quiet dinner! There are limited tables - this place is very popular - so, make sure you have a reservation. Not sure if they are open for lunch service - I think they serve dinner only.

A small cozy restaurant is tucked away in Begur on the Costa Brava, Spain…read more The chef is Sergi Climent who has been written up in the Michellin guide. The food is more a Catalan style "tapas" that is created by Sergi. What Sergi seems to strive for is emphasizing the different favors as he works his magic. I have eaten here several times and each time I come away thinking how great the meals were. Catalan has many fine restaurants and this restaurant just made the fine restaurants list larger.

After returning from Spain to the US, I was giving Wes at Petrabax a detailed look back on a very…read moreenjoyable trip. When the Parador de Aiguablava came up, he asked me if I minded that this Hotel was a modern building and not a former Castle or Convent. I admitted that this barracks-like alabaster structure was a little boxy. However, when Gayle and I considered the magnificent Costa Brava views, the superb service, and the surrounding beaches and sights, it doesn't get much better than this. In fact, the only compatible Parador experience on this trip were the amazing Mountain views at their facility in Vielha. Gayle would also go as far to say that she would have given up a day in Barcelona to stay here longer. This modern Parador is a superbly located hotel on the Punta D'es Muts and is surrounded by pine trees overlooking the sea. The Parador maximizes its cliff-side perch with large windows everywhere, including the Restaurant/Breakfast Room, Lounge, various sitting rooms, and even the business meeting area. We spent a lot of time on our room balcony just relaxing and taking in the view. There's also an ocean-side Lounge were we did the same over cocktails. The Parador also operates a separate restaurant and beach in a cove below. However, it was October and that was closed for the season. This is also the perfect place to venture out and enjoy the area's beautiful beaches, cliff walks and explore the coves in a gorgeous natural environment.
