Dinner at a campground? Say it ain’t so. No, it’s not like the US. We weren’t served BBQ chicken, hot dogs or hamburgers. The food was amazing and didn’t include even one squirt of ketchup.
Camping Les Medes is a family run campground. We dined with the son while his mother prepared and served our meal. We didn’t get to explore the grounds, BUT they had a giant chess board outside that the kids thought was awesome!

We are now on day 3 of our Costa Brava tour. After a bike ride and wine sampling at a local vineyard, we headed to lunch at Restaurant Guillermo.
Guillermo is located right along the promenade overlooking the water in Sant Antoni de Calonge. We were able to gaze out the window at the beautiful sea vista, and watch Lucy play and take photographs when she needed a break from the table.
Restaurant Guillermo has been a family run restaurant for over 25 years. You can sense how much the family enjoys running the restaurant just by watching the interaction with guests. The daughter breezed in while we were finishing up lunch, stopping by tables and chatting excitedly with patrons.
Lunch started with another round of fantastic appetizers. By this point, I was probably up about 3lbs. I’m an optimist!

We had two types of calamari, both cooked to perfection. My favorite dish was the little clams called coquinas. YUM! I even surprised my husband my munching on the little fried fish, sonsos. Prawns and a green salad rounded out our first course.

The Feliu, founded in 1969, is one of the oldest restaurants of Platja d’Aro. The restaurant is family owned and a wonderful place for families to enjoy a meal.

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining in a classic setting. The tables are adorned with crisp white linens and flower filled vases. The wait staff is friendly and quick to refill glasses and make menu suggestions.

We sat down and appetizers just started appearing on the table. There was so much food and it was all so good, we didn’t want to stop eating! Calamari, mussels, croquettes, fried anchovies plus salmon and anchovies on a toasted baguette. Oh my!

The Marimurtra Botanical Garden , or Jardí Botànic Marimurtra, is situated on top of a rocky cliff in Blanes, Spain. The garden is the perfect place to spend a few hours on a leisurely stroll, learning about the foliage and soaking up the breathtaking views of the surrounding Mediterranean Sea.
The gardens were founded by a German botanist, Carl Faust, in the 1920’s. A statue in his honor occupies a prominent spot on the beach in the heart of Blanes. My kids thought it was cool that they had learned about him while visiting the beach and village, just an hour before our tour of the gardens.

We continued moving North along the coast in our quest to experience all that Costa Brava has to offer. Our next meal was lunch at the Can Segura Hotel Restaurant in the village of Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
The restaurant in the Can Segura Hotel has an adorable beach vibe. The striking blue table cloths and beach decor made for a relaxing dining experience. We sat in a cozy corner booth with colorful pillows surrounding the walls creating the perfect ambiance for eating great food and enjoying great conversation.
The kids sat together along the back wall laughing and chatting away while the adults discussed which of the tempting foods to try.
