Our nearest large-ish town in Catalonia was Banyoles, sitting on the edge of the Estany de Banyoles, site of the rowing events of the 1992 Olympics. It's a beautiful, clear, natural freshwater lake surrounded by wooded hills and awash with wildlife. Swimming is allowed in a couple of spots, and we took full advantage. I think swimming in fresh water is one of my very favourite things. We also visited the town and its market, and of course a dip in our own pool was a daily fixture. Evenings (once the kids were in bed) were spent with a glass of Cava, watching the light fade over the Catalonian hills.
