Costa Brava holidays tend to mean different things to different people, so I was interested to see this article on the subject of a cruise ship stopping off at Palamos.
The writer of the article had picked up the cruise boat in Barcelona after a flight from the USA and Palamos was the first stop on his Mediterranean cruise.
What a pity he declined a trip to Girona and the Dali Museum in Figueres. Whilst I appreciate that jet-lag gets the better of most of us, he managed to miss a wonderful slice of Spain that is worth so much more than a quick stop.
He says that that there wasn't much to do in Palamos, and with that I can agree with him on, but Palamos is the biggest port in the area and was the starting point to getting him closer to other parts of the Costa Brava offering more in the way of history, art, culture, and spectacular scenery.
I wonder what views and opinions he will take home with him from Spain? Fairly vexing that the gentleman writer appears to be writing for a travel agency, apparently on the staff, so he is not really offering his readers much of an opinion on Spain if he declines to go on the tours and surely he is missing half the fun of cruising by not doing the tours?
It seems that it is not only Spain that he's not keen on doing tours - France's famous wine estates also missed the chance to play host to to this blogger.
