Dining in Gaudi (3 bedrooom apartment)

The apartment is set in tranquil surroundings and is strategically situated within the heartland of the Catalonian region. The accommodation is surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Pyrenees and set within lush green forests. The immediate landscape reflects the verdant terrain of the Garrotxa, a National Park that experienced volcanic activity in years gone by. The local area surrounding Can Cruanyes is steeped in medieval history and atmosphere. It is littered with villages boasting rambling narrow streets, beautiful churches and various bars and restaurants. Must see places of interest are Besalu (10 mins) with its imposing twelfth century fortified bridge and Figueres (25mins) where its famous son Salvador Dali was born still appeals to thousands of visitors every year. 5 mins drive from Can Cruanyes you have secluded rock pools to take a dip or Joseph's labyrinth which both the young and old can puzzle over. The pituresque lake of Banyoles is only 15 mins.

Further details
Tortella is where one can do their basic grocery shopping while Olot less than half an hour away has a number of larger supermarkets and Besalu (10 mins) has a supermarket also. Walking: As well as walks from Sadernes, Beget and further into the Pyrenees there are a few walks that run close to Tortella and Can Cruanyes itself. There are also plenty of water sport centres along the coast in Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, L'Escala, Platja D'Aro, Roses, Cadaques, Llanca and the Cap de Creus.
Horse riding: There are many equestrian centres in the area with some treks taking in some beautiful scenery.
Cycling: recently on the route of the Tour de France the area is famed amongst cyclists. Bike rental can be arranged locally and there is an abundance of on and off road cycling trails in the area. There is a cycle path all the way from Olot to the coast which is great for all ages.
Wildlife and birdwatching: this area has a very lush and diverse plant life, with woods of holm oak and beech. This has in turn led to a greatly varied animal and bird life.
Hotair ballooning: for the highly adventurous there is the option of a hot-air balloon ride that will transport you over the yawning craters of the volcanic region.

Guest comments
My husband and I stayed at Can Cruanyes at the beginning of May.A lovely
apartment well furnished and finished off. Quite and relaxing. the perfect
location for both visits to the coast and further into the mountains where some
serious 'wow' locations can be found. Olot indoor food market frequented
seemingly only by locals at the foot of the steps to the church is real eye
opener. Selling only artisan produce produced by locals. If you are foodies,a
must.Donny and Siobhan generous and thoughtful hosts. Definitely recommend this
place to anyone. Take your own empty two litre water bottle in to the village
and fill it with wine on tap for less than 3 Euros. How about that! A holiday
we will never forget.

Lucy Healing of the UK stayed May 2011 in our 2 bedroom apartment.
