Costa Brava - In 7 Days Suggestions
 
Hi
On Monday 31 August we are driving from Perpignan to Roses via Ceret and Amelie-les-Baines and staying there for 3 nights. On Tue we thought we would go to Figueres to see Dali musuem and Wed to Cadaques and Cap de Creus. The next 2 nights not booked and then onto Begur at Hotel Aigua Blava for 2 nights Sat & Sun. Please other suggestions for routes and places to visit ie pretty villages and drives and places to eat with views. I like the sound of places like Peratallada, La Bisbal, Pals, Empuries.
We would like to experience 1 or maybe 2 michelin star restaurants - one star but if there are other restaurants of note and of a reasonable price please provide comment. Our Australian dollar has dropped so much against the Euro that everything seems expensive now.
Thanks

Have you seen my recent trip report that covers some of these things? Just click on my name to find it....

Why Amélie-les-Bains? It is not a very interesting place
unless you want to drive on to Coustouges and down to Figueres on the main road? Or via Camprodon?
Via Coustouges : there is an excellent restaurant "Can Tenli" specializing in cod fish in Maçanet de Cabrenys.
Via Camprodon : Hostal Can Tiranda in Set Cases
In Figueres : Hotel President, expensive.
Cheap, no view but good food : Casa Pepe in Llers near Figueres. Incidentally they also own an excellent buffet-style cafeteria at Vilatenim, on the road to Rosas. It is in a shopping mall called Nou Center and very visible from the main road. Lunch is €13.80 (closed at night).
Restaurant "Compartir" in Cadaquès.

For lunch with a sea view, I would pick Calella da Palafrugell. I found the interior of the unusual town of Castello d'Empuries fascinating and charming. Can't help with Michelin stars and hesitate to restaurant recommendations because my trip was more than 5 years ago.

Another excellent restaurant; "Freu", the restaurant of Hotel Guitart Monterrey. Lovely terrace overlooking a beautiful garden.
