Perpignan Trip : Tue Mar 10, 2009 5:33 pm  

Looking at booking the 3 day trip soon with Catalan Sports Tours.

Can anyone give a review on these tours and spending money needed and rough prices of grub and drink etc.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look here Catalans Sports Tours are of course fantastic people, whose advertising helps keep this place running – and for the Cas mob, numbers of whom like to stay in Lloret del Mar over the border for some reason, organised coaches to and from the game from Spain. But I'd recommend staying in Perpignan itself or, if you want, one of the nearby coastal resorts like Argeles sur Mer or Collioure (frequent local train service to Perps)

All sounds great other than the £6.50 a pint in Perpignan.

Anyone find any cheap places?

youll probably end up in the irish bar! get yourself to one of the super markets and stock up!

What are prices like in the Irish bar?

At the moment I'm thinking of a week in northern Spain or 3 days in Perpignan.

As expensive as everywhere else, the exchange rate will make it a very expensive trip this year, especially if you're a heavy drinker, they're taking us for a ride now over there

I do like a drop yes.

I think them prices may change me into a reformed character for that weekend though.

Will it be cheaper to have a weekend on the vino rather than lager?

I was thinking of that earlier.

I think it's due to the fact the frogs don't drink as much as us.
