March is here.....
05 March 2010 10:07
March is here already, where is the year going, and at the start of the week it was like Spring! No coats were needed, and then Wednesday came and it was raincoats, wellies, umbrellas and all day heating, unfortunately it's Friday now and not much has changed. Having just looked at the weather SNOW is forecast for Sunday and Monday, what on earth is going on, I did not order this!!
The road works in the town appear to be progressing in a hurry to get finished for Setmana Santa (Easter hols), although with the rain the newly dug up roads are now like bogs, nice! My little girl thinks it's great walking to school with mudding puddles everywhere, but keeping her clean is now even more of a challenge then previously!
Ryanair are still doing some good offers at the minute, so if you haven't booked flights yet keep looking as some flights are only £9.99!!

Good morning, Finally we are getting some warm weather here on the costa. Today you can feel the sun so no need for coats or jackets!!
The Canaval went well last week and just missed the rain, which was good for all the people who went to watch. There were free sardines being given out down the port end as always, but as some regulars explained to me, this year they were more prepared...as they took along some bread and a bottle of red!nice.
Just some local info, the Pizzaria just along from the school is due to re open in a couple of weeks, speaking to the owner yesterday he explained that the resturant will be re opening as the work in the street in front is due to finish shortly, Harveys Darts night on every Thursday night is pulling in the crowds - Not quite Phil the Power but Bill the prowler can throw a dart or two apparently.
Remeber when you come over no need to worry about what books you are going to read as the book shop is open, next door to the Kings Office, is all year - only something like 2 euros per book and if you return them you get money back!!
Speak to you soon have a great week end.

Rain, mud, road works and more rain.....!!!
19 February 2010 09:57
Well the weather still hasn't picked up, so grey clouds and rain are here to stay, for the time being anyway!! Looking at the forecast, ''Carnestoltes'' (carnival weekend) stands a good chance of being rained off again this year, but fingers crossed it will brighten up in time for Sunday.
There is alot of work going on in the town, and has been for the past few months, new gas piping is being fitted, so the entire town is near impossible to drive round, and what with the rain the streets have turned into flooded mud puddles, and most of the work is right near the school, which is wonderful for keeping kids clean!!
There is hope though as Easter is only round the corner, and with that brings the start of the holiday makers, and therefore the road works should be finished....bring on the summer!!

Good afternoon, The weather has certainly changed here! Cold and wet for the last couple of days but hopefully some sun is on its way!
Abit of news, our first installation of pool heaters are going in to the Villa Estrella next week, so this means the clients who have booked the Villa for this summer can always have a swim regardless of the weather!!!
After looking at Ryanair website the prices seem quite good for the end of May Still and June, so if you have a look and are looking for a good deal let us know as we have 1 bedroom apartments in the Mar dor up to 3 bedrooms plus the great Villa Atalalias are always good at that time of the year as they have BBQS outside in the gardens.
Well back to work and off to double check the weather again aaarrrgghhh...........................
ONLY 3 MONTHS BEFORE HABANA BEACH BAR OPENS!!!!

Today the sun has gone in but I thought I would post a picture to remind you of whats coming soon.....the shops are full of fancy dress outfits so I think this week end the children will be looking to get kitted out in the latest princess dress out fit, and Spider man kits for the boys. The weather forecast is good so fingers crossed we will get away with it this year.
Also Harveys Bar has now been taken over by Joe and Jemma, those who have been in the bar in past years will know who they are, as they have been working there for some years now, so Good luck to them and when you are in town make sure you get in there and try out their food as they serve the best burgers and ribs in town!

Good morning and welcome to another week. The weather here today is sunny with blue sky but if you are not in the sun it feels rather chilly!! Recently we have had plenty of snow on the mountains, so the veiws from L'Estartit are quite breathe taking as we have the back drop of the Pyrenees mountains topped with snow.
In the next couple of weeks we have Mardi Gras Fiesta here, so that means the Children are off school for a couple of days and the town has things going on down at the port plus the owners of Villas and apartments from Barcelona come up for the the week end making a nice atmosphere, and noting the end of the winter months here as normally it feels like spring is in the air and summer is just round the corner.
I have just been on the Ryanair website and have noticed that alot of the fares have discounts, so if you fancy coming over early on in the season, now is a good time to book, and remember you can arrive anyday in our acommodation, so drop us a line if you are interested and I'll see what I can do for you.
Until next time have a good day.
January..it's nearly over!!
29 January 2010 12:13
Well January is nearly over, at last! The weather has been picking up the last couple of days so hopefully in a couple a weeks it should start to feel a bit more spring like, fingers crossed. Next month all over the Costa Brava and Spain we have the Carnival, it's usually around the 16th of Feburary, in celebration of Mardi Gras, so the fancy dress costumes will be out in force, well the kids anyway, and some of the big kids(!). Carnestoltes, as they call it here, with not only the fancy dress parades but also the FREE sardines and with a bit of luck we won't be washed out this year!
I will be away on holiday for the next 2 weeks, but the office is still open to take your bookings if you haven't already booked for summer 2010....

Still cold on the Costa Brava...
11 January 2010 12:31
Well, the snow never did come to Estartit, although some parts of the Costa Brava had some! The temperature is still too low for my liking, although the sun is out which is a bit better! I actually think it is too cold for snow at the minute...typical!
Here in Estartit the bombers ( Fire trucks) and other emergency services had there annual display down at the harbour, the kids get to go on the fire engine, and learn the importance of the fire, police and ambulance departments.
We had a drive up to Banyoles, which is where the rowing for the 1992 olympics was held. Here there is a large lake, which we walked round, it took about 2 hours, that's with a 6 six year old in tow. It is a bigger lake then I originally thought, although the hot chocolate at the end was worth the bruised knees of two trips by said six year old!
I will keep you all updated on all the goings on the Costa Brava....
