A mere 130km from home and not too far from the border with Spain lies the little Catalan village of Ortaffa.

This is where my dear cousin Dominique moved to a couple of weeks ago. An ideal opportunity for us to visit the area and obviously her new house as well.

So we set off earlier today in time to make it there for lunch and stay for a couple of days.

At the time of writing this, I am lying by the pool digesting the excellent “Côte de Boeuf” we enjoyed for the aforementioned lunch.
