Hi Dizzy,
If you are coming to the Costa Brava you can add quite a bit to the cost of living given here. There are also summer and winter prices.
Aiguafreda is beautiful. You haven't just bought the 5 Million € house have you?
I live in Begur. The newspapers are reporting that 6 million car journeys will be taken this weekend. I think about one million of those have headed to Begur.
If you need some local information let me just ask.
Cheers
Barry
