Dear Simona!
Greetings!
I have a special love for Catalonya/Catalogne as it expands into France!
Have you ever been to Collioure?
You will fall in love!
The best bread in France (and I’m not easy to please onthat!), superlative food (Zarzuella!) and the wine!: Banyuls, Cotes du Roussillon, etc.
And they play rugby!
