Entrance from the square below:

The garden apartment is on the third floor of a traditional 'bourgeois' Catalan house on a square, 2 streets above the harbour. Built directly into the rock in the late 1890s, only our top floor apartment has a garden. In fact we have two gardens! There is a large wooden terrace surrounded by flowers, herbs, roses & large plum tree directly in front of the french doors/entrance to the apartment (not shown in this photo). We also own the strip of terraced garden that runs adjacent to the apartment and the house, shown here in this photo. You enter via our garden gate in the square, and climb up through our terraced garden to the top level, pass across the wooden terrace and from there into the apartment.

This is one of the very few apartments in this area, so close to the sea, with such a large outdoor area. When its hot you want to be outside. But yes, there are a lot of stairs. In fact the whole town is full of steps and stairs - one of the reason everyone looks so healthy here - they regularly get a good workout!
