Just returned from a trip organized by "Natalie-Tours". We must pay tribute to the organization of the transfer, information, excursions through this tour operator. I would especially like to note and thank the tour guide Arina, a Spaniard by her father. Excellent presentation of the material, a broad outlook, we were lucky that 2 out of 4 excursions to Carcassonne, Girona-Fageras and metro Dali were with her. But alas, on Sunday it is better not to take excursions, we went to the Aquarium and Singing Fountains. The guide was something unintelligible, I didn’t remember her name, it seems she fell asleep herself on the go, built phrases, as if she was at odds with the Russian language, but then she apparently got tired of pretending to be a foreigner, she spoke in a normal language. Yes, and in the Aquarium they just threw us, see for yourself, there was no excursion in it. The hotel is ordinary, the room is standard, we were lucky, although the hotel is on the second coastline, but the room turned out to be overlooking the sea, it was cleaned daily. Meals: breakfast is the same, for dinner 3 types of meat (pork, beef, turkey, chicken and even a rabbit), fish is either different daily or cooked differently. Side dishes of the same type, there was also enough fruit. For dessert, ice cream, pudding for an amateur. Drinks are paid. If you want to save money, take 3 meals a day, even if you are going on excursions. For 2 we dined for 40 euros (appetizer, main course, drink). In Barç a, fast food cost us 20 euros. We were intimidated all the time that they were stealing, so they were hyping us to rent a safe. Pleasure costs 40 euros with a deposit. When we changed our minds and tried to return the money, we were fed "breakfasts" daily, as a result, I managed to return it only in 4 days, the deposit was not returned to me. Refrigerator and remote control from the air conditioner are also paid - 20 euros. We were lucky that the neighbors were quiet, since there is absolute audibility. There are many "pensioners" in the hotel. The beaches are municipal, there is no obvious garbage, but there are cigarette butts everywhere, and there are no changing rooms. In general, the rest was satisfied
