Neighbourhood
Our flat is in a forested neighbourhood, "Els Boscos", meaning "The Woods". It has a large balcony with sea views overlooking a small wooded garden and an outdoor barbecue. Just 15 minutes by foot down a forest path to a fantastic beach; 10 minutes by car to Tarragona, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a typical quaint European town filled with little plazas, great restaurants, tapas bars and shops where there is always something happening; and an hour to amazing Barcelona.
Getting around
There is bus access to town and back every 15-30 minutes. The bus takes about 15 minutes. Once in town you can walk everywhere. The beach is a 20-minute walk down a forest path, or a couple minutes by car. We recommend having a car or a scooter. Car trade is a possibility. I have a motor scooter if you're daring.

We have a pact to be in a different country every August 9, so drop us a line if that fits with your plans. We can cat sit. Car trade possible. Would like to trade with other distance workers in Europe (especially Italy, Germany, Croatia, Austria, Slovenia). We look forward to hearing from you!
