Seedy for the Needy
Aug 26th, 2013 by willmarks
Heading East from the caves as quickly as Fred Flintstone after a long meeting with Mr. Slate, we arrived by evening in the French Mediterranean coastal town of Argelès-sur-Mer, close to the Spanish border. The beach itself is wonderful and wide, but/and the town is seedy, and fun! Plenty of arcades, OK food at best (though croque-monsieurs were good), tank tops required, all of the lodging average or below (why waste money when you are seldom in the room), and a stretch of sand impossibly uncrowded, given the population bulge seen on the streets/sidewalks of this tourist town during late August—it is simply a massive beach. After a day spent in Argelès-sur-Mer, we were back in Barcelona, two hours post-closing the trunk of the Kia in France.
