Forgive the title; it refers to Jules Verne and Salvador Dali en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_the_Center_of_the_Earth ; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_MasturbatorHave now booked flights and am filling in the rest for a family trip next summer (4 weeks with some stay-put time so I can telecommute mid-journey). Locations and tentatively-planned nights at each: Barcelona (4), Girona (3), Cadaques (7), Carcassonne, France (1), Mirepoix, France (2), drive through Andorra to Taull, Spain, Keflavik/Snaelfessness, Iceland (5). I just read BazFaz's Girona post with interest, thanks for that. |

And I thought it was comment on the US2016 Presidential Campaign.
Ho Hum!
Happy Travels.

Lol, I was wondering about the title. What a great trip! In case you're ever in Florida, there is a whole museum dedicated to Dali's work in St Petersburg, FL. It is amazing.

Yes, we experienced the "Dalinian Continuity" there (quoting the Florida museum's docent). Years ago, but the memory is persistent.

love those regions, tilted!
You now have some insights on the Costa Brava area so won't bore you with outdated info.
Do make sure your children read up about how they made a mistake with the reconstruction in Carcassonne.
I do not know anything about Mirepoix?
Are you only stopping over in Iceland or doing some exploring there as well?

5 nights Iceland on the way back, just going to the Snaelfessness peninsula and back to the airport. A small change to the plans above has been made, as my preference for Taull/Aiguestortes over Andorra didn't sell, and we're doing Carcassonne as a day (evening) trip for lodging-related reasons. In Mirepoix they have an odd way with fruit: www.pechluna.com/wp-content/gallery/loustalviel/mirepoix-fete-de-la-pommes_0.jpg |

And here was I thinking there'd been an escape from the nether regions of the board! Actually, it's the name of a painting. Don't know that I'd fancy looking at this in the lounge room though.  |
