Do we know if the fixture is confirmed for Perpignan on the Saturday or not ?

Really keen to travel ( for the first time ) welcome advice on flights etc.

Planning on going Friday, returning Sunday.

Has anyone flown into Girona airport (Barcelona) then got the Girona/Perpignan train?

Might try that one next year.

You can fly from Standsted to Perpignan direct.


Some people make a week of it by flying to Barcelona or Girona, staying in Spain and just travel into Perpignan for the match.
I know a lot of Rovers fans stay in LLoret or Tossa and organise coaches for the match.

I would imagine plenty of Hull fans do the same

Looking to go next year and make a week of it this time . Thinking Girona , Costa Brava then head to Perpignan for the game then head back to Spain . Any recommendations on where to stay on the Costa brava would be appreciated as I haven't been there for over 30 years . Not looking at a Blackpool esq type resort either.

Yeah done it a few times now. It's as easy as.

We're doing a mammoth next year: Leeds/Bradford to Paris onto Perpignan and then to Barcelona and back to Leeds. All by train at that side. Oh and home for the Cas match on the Sunday.

What's Paris flight cost?
How much is Paris/Perpignan on train?

Paris flights last week was £65.97 for both of us and that's with one case at 22kg

The trains aren't available yet but they'll be in the region of £180 for the two of us. It's a five hour plus journey. Far cheaper than a car and the hassle of driving.

Tossa beach/Tossa centre hotels in Tossa all inclusive

Very clean and cheap. 200 yards from the beach

Foods good if only staying for the week

im doing trip next year ,thurs 6th june to 9th £370 all inclusive in lloret ,cost includes flights hotel,tranfers to manchester and back ,and transfers to catalans and back,40 places prebooked

Sounds like a perfect trip for Rovers fans!!

tossa is like mauritius compared to lloret!

thats where we are planning on staying (tossa der mar)

Tossa de Mar is a really nice traditional Catalanese resort, castle on the beach lovely bay a bit of night life and a great bars scene. had a great week here a few years ago. Would recommend.

i have moved my trip to tossa de mar.because most of the group dont like lloret

Ended up in Tossa by default a couple of years back after our accomodation in Beziers had been double booked, it was an eventful trip including a 5 hour round trip for the game, but Tossa was spot on and we had a great little place right on the beach, so as Wilf says to be recommended. Since this trip we now always spend a few days in Spain as it's so much cheaper.

This year we've already booked for 2 nights in Perps then hiring a car for 3 nights in Callela - Worked out at circa £210 each (excl fuel & tolls).

I always got the impression Lloret de mar & Tossa de mar were Blackpool with heat but looking at some reviews about Tossa . It doesn't sound that bad tbh.

I visited Tossa de Mar about 20 years ago and I would describe it as a very quaint little place then but not sure how much it will have changed, however Llloret was like Blackpool in the sun back then so fear that will be even worse now.

Tossa is the complete opposite to lloret.

Quite and scenic. Nice beach. Sand a bit rough. Ideal for family's.

Pictures taken inside the castle area

If you don't mind driving we did this last time.

Flight to Gerona.
Hire car from the airport to Tossa
Stayed in Tossa for 5 days.
Drive to Perpignan on the Saturday morning.
Great afternoon in Perpignan soaking up the atmosphere
Game on the night and 1 night stay in Perpignan.
Drive back to Girona on the Sunday for the flight home.

I have done the 7 nights in Tossa with the coach trip into Perpignan on the Saturday
returning after the match.
It is a bit of a long day. But ok if you don't want to do any driving

Anyone intereted in travelling down on train could do worse than getting in touch with these folks... www.railbookers.com/ Would also recommend a trip out to Collioure... www.collioure.com/gb/index-gb.htm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collioure

Were just getting the numbers together , Tossa sounding more likely now . The coach option doesn't sound to bad as this would save on hire car and additional hotel costs. I guess it was CST who did the trip ?.

spanish transfer ,matchday is £25 from cst

Looks quite nice .

The pictures were taken from inside the castle area that you can see in the background.



This is a picture looking the other way



Plenty of streets like this for the girls to go shopping

My favourite on that coastline is Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell (not be mistaken for the bigger more touristy Calella). There just a couple of small, beautiful neighbouring coves.
About an hour from Girona.

Llafranc (top left Calella).


Calella.

Would be interested to know how many people would go if there was an organised trip and what sort of duration they would like?

As my other half works locally for an independant travel company and am thinking at the possibly of getting a trip organised for the game that doesnt break the bank but depends on numbers etc.

I'd be interested in anyones thoughts on this, please feel free to pm me.
