Каталония-осень 2010 Catalonia-Autumn 2010

Salarius Palace 4 * Natalie Tours: meeting-seeing off, hotel guide - everything is fine!! ! Transaero: small Boeings, soft drinks and juices ended very quickly, although no one abused and very rarely anyone asked for a second tiny glass. Dates of the trip 07.10-15.10. 2010. The weather is changeable now +28C, then 16C with rain. Hotel guide: Alexander. He is punctual, does not impose excursions, gives complete information on any question, including about independent movement in Catalonia. Location: 1. Port Aventura on foot 10-15 minutes. From the hotel straight to the bridge and to the right. Tickets were taken from the hotel guide "Natalie Tours", two days (in a row) for the price of one: an adult - 44e, a child from 4 to 12l and pensioners from 60l - 35e; in the park the price is the same, but for one day. There are no queues in October, so there is no need to buy an express ticket. The park is open even in the rain, but some rides are closed. On water attractions, you need a raincoat, you can get thoroughly wet, in the summer it’s very nice to cool down in the heat, but in the fall we froze and dried for a long time. PortAventura raincoat costs about 6e for an adult, a little cheaper for children. The water park near PortAventura has been closed since October 9 (in La Pineda it was still open). 2. Train station on foot 10-15 minutes - for trips to Barcelona 3. Bus stop on the waterfront 10-12 minutes - for trips to Reus and Tarragona4. The sea is 10-12 minutes, if you go back and forth in the summer, it’s a pleasure to walk to the embankment once a day in the fall, if there is no rain. Sunbeds are paid. 5. Information glass booth with a blue letter "i" - 10-12 minutes on Europe Square6. Car rental: at the guide of Natalie Tours or at the reception or at Europe Square. Autobahn to Barcelona is paid if you pay in cash under the inscription "Manual"; the N-340 road is free but winding. City maps can be obtained free of charge at the counter at the door of the hotel, from the hotel guide or in the information glass booth with a blue letter "i"Hotel. Pros: 1. Free safe2. A Russian-speaking girl Aida is periodically on duty at the reception 3. All rooms have balconies, where there is a table with chairs4. The outdoor pool is large by Spanish standards. There is not a large indoor pool (caps are needed there!!! ! They are sold at the hotel). Sauna, gym. Everything is free. five. Feeding varied, monotonous and depends on the number of Germans in the hotel. Cons: 1. Paid refrigerator 2. Poor soundproofing, you can hear everything! ! 3. No picnics, i. e. no way to take a missed lunch on a trip. There is an early breakfast at 6.30 and a cold dinner at 23.00 - you need to notify the reception in advance. 4. Not enough sockets in the room. You can’t leave the battery to charge when leaving, because the hotel has plastic keys, pulled out a card at the exit from the room, which means the room was de-energized. There is one outlet from under the refrigerator, if you don’t need it, move the cabinet and... In general, everything is fine, despite the changeability of the weather. Barcelona is beautiful, Reus is sweet, Tarragona is charming. Catalonia is amazing!
