Platja D'Aro, Spain

For the last couple of days of our vacation, we stayed at the Hotel Jorge in Platja D'Aro. It was a beautiful resort on the Mediterranean. The hotel grounds were gorgeous and we had two beautiful coves to frolic on. The hotel rooms were super clean, but were just utilitarian. I was very disappointed. The walls were paper thin and the shower was tiny and went back and forth from hot and cold. But, we had a beautiful sea view and an enormous balcony. The public areas of the hotel were awesome, just not the rooms.
This is one of the coves. We didn't really hang out here, we liked the other side better. The other side was less crowded.

The guard rail was missing in a lot of places along the path. There was just a tiny homemade sign that read, "pay attention to the missing guard rail". If this was California, the whole trail would be shut down for months while they fixed it.
The sand was not as fine as the sand in Cal., but it was great for laying out on. It moved and conformed to your body super easy and made for a comfortable base to put your towel.

Checking out the water upon arrival

I loved the water. It was the perfect temperature, cool and refreshing. NO WAVES!!! This is what I liked best. Because it is the Mediterranean, it has a lot of salt and it was so easy just to float and bob in the waves. I loved it. It was not crowded. We began everyday at the beach and stayed until about 2pm. Then we would go in, shower up and head out to sightsee.

The girls found this little black cat on the first day and loved him up every chance they got.
