For us, travel is random. We decided to go to Corçà, Catalonia, on a whim. We had no regrets.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had planned to visit Montserrat after Barcelona but the rain made that idea impractical. No point walking around Montserrat on a day that was pouring. So I said, let’s try Girona.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We ended up in the small village of Corça in a B&B named after the owner’s eight-year-old daughter. Leo, the owner, is a superb host and told us all the sights in the area.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We originally planned to stay for a night but ended up with another night because the room was so nice and there was so much to see in the neighbouring area of northern Catalonia, like Peratallada, Monells and Begur.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Matilda’s is a old Spanish house with rooms that had terraces and a basement room that used to be a stable and where a well was. We chose to stay in the basement room. It was like our own cozy cave.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the mornings, breakfast was on the highest floor, and we were welcomed by Pomelo, the owner’s dog, who would wait for us at our door and then lead us to the breakfast area upstairs. Once in a while, he would turn back to make sure we were following him.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then the wife would play with him and he would sit next to us, looking at us with his wet eyes, hoping for a bite.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Enjoy your breakfast but don’t feed him, haha,” Leo said to us, obviously used to his dog’s habits.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Wife was very taken by Pomelo and I had to remind her not to be swayed by his persuasive ways and not to give him any of her breakfast.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At night, we had dinner at one of the five restaurants in the tiny village. Walking through the medieval streets of Carrer del Mur and Carrer Major made us feel like we were in some Game of Thrones episode. Okay, maybe without the scary dragons and the Night King.
